We’re not going to kick the can down the road

This legislative session, Maryland faced two storms: The worst budget crisis since the Great Recession and the Trump administration threatening the livelihood of our state. But Governor Wes Moore refused to kick the can down the road, John. He faced crisis with courage, got a budget passed …

They’re not putting America first. They’re leaving Americans behind.

When I was sworn in as Maryland’s 63rd governor, I promised we would leave no one behind. In fact, we even emblazoned that exact saying on every sign when you enter Maryland. But it’s clear the administration down in Washington doesn’t believe in that promise. From attacking federal public …

You are not an ATM

Without you, none of this would be possible. We want to thank you for being part of this movement, John. You are not an ATM. When we ask for contributions, it’s because you are a part of this team, and you are a part of a movement that is going to make sure that this is Maryland’s decade. To…

How we’re serving Maryland

On January 8th, the start of the legislative session in Maryland, we were in a tough spot. Maryland was faced with two storms: a budget crisis that was the worst one since the Great Depression, and an incoming federal administration ready to tear things apart. On January 20th, the Trump adm…

Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The White House’s refusal to act is setting a dangerous precedent. No matter what others are saying, here are the facts: Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a father. He is a sheet metal apprentice. And he is a Maryland resident.  On March 15, 2025, he was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. The…

Wes is delivering for Maryland

Earlier this week, after passing over 800 new bills and the 2025 budget, Governor Moore and the Maryland General Assembly rang the bell at 12:00 AM to mark the end of the legislative session. We wanted to be sure you knew about the bills the Governor fought for to continue to create new pat…

Wes and I are so proud of the work we’ve done for Marylanders over the last few months, but to keep building on that progress, we need your support. Hi John, it’s Lt. Governor Aruna Miller. I’ll get straight to it. Because we couldn’t accept a single dollar during Maryland’s legislative sess…

As we thaw out from the freeze

The fundraising freeze is over and we need your help. $5, John. That’s what we’re asking from you today. Now that the legislative session is over, we need to hit the ground running to stay in the fight for Wes’s vision for Maryland. Your contribution of $5 — or more — will directly power our…

75% vs. 100%

There’s a big obstacle for our next fight, since any future opponents might be able to build up their resources while our hands are tied. Here’s the situation, John. The legislative session is over, and Wes has won some important fights for Marylanders. Now, we have to turn our focus to our …

Pressing play

They’re not trying to “liberate” you

I don’t need to tell you that there’s a lot of uncertainty right now, John.  Sweeping tariffs from the Trump administration have cratered the economy and everyone is holding their breath about how much higher the price of the basics we need to survive can possibly go. It’s clear: The Trump …

What’s the deal with Maryland’s fundraising freeze?

John, we hope you’ve enjoyed learning more about Governor Moore, what he’s doing to stand up for Maryland families, and just how hard he roots for Maryland sports over the past few months. You may have even thought to yourself: They haven’t asked me for money once. Well, the truth is, when …

It’s history.

I started the morning of January 18, 2023 on the docks in Annapolis.  Members of my incoming administration, Black leaders, and Maryland dignitaries were there to hold a wreath laying to remember the history of what was once one of the country’s first and largest slave ports. We then marche…

Get hyped, it’s Opening Day

I'm at Camden Yards to watch the Orioles play their first home game of the season. After a long winter, I’m ready to soak in the sun and cheer on the O's. Part of the reason I love Opening Day is because baseball is all about community. At Camden Yards, you can feel the energy in the crow…

The most patriotic thing you can do

John, I’m often asked, “How can you feel patriotic after what happened in November?”  My answer is simple: I know our country isn’t perfect. But I still believe in it. Flaws and all. That conviction prevents me from sitting back and allowing someone to take our country in the wrong directio…

A 2:02 A.M phone call

John, one year ago today, I got a phone call at 2:02 AM I could have never truly prepared for. The Francis Scott Key Bridge had been hit by a container ship the length of three football fields.  Six Marylanders who were working the night shift on the bridge were unaccounted for. And the Por…

Leadership means lifting people up, not punching down

Leadership isn’t about attacking those who are working hard to succeed. It’s about lifting people up and making sure they have the resources to thrive. That’s why last week – when Donald Trump singled out Baltimore students to try to justify his senseless plot to dismantle the Department of…
