What a wonderful man. Best of luck to you and Baltimore
That's a great example of the kind of men that should be in politics. High moral standards, common sense, great charisma and a real concern and care for the quality of the lives of others.

I admire the optimism of Wes Moore. I hope he can improve the quality of life for people in Maryland. Good luck to him!
I truly hope we hear many great things about Baltimore and Moore in the coming years.
I sincerely wish Mr Moore and his family the very best in their new adventure. I know they will do well. Congratulations and Happy New Year 🎉
God bless you sir! 🇹🇿 is so proud! ❤️🩹💪🏾
Gov Wes Moore is the type of person we should all aspire to be!
Gov. Wes Moore has an inspiring story and huge potential - I pray that his successful stewardship of Maryland will translate into national leadership as President.

If he can accomplish a lot of what he wants to in Baltimore as he's done in his life, he will be President some day. He has the "it" factor and the positive energy. What a great story.

Representative of what? We have 23 Baltimore City Public Schools where all of the students are not on their proper math grade level. A school for middle school boys in the city is closing and he hasn't said a word
I'm honored to have voted for him.
May God Bless his efforts.
Wes Moore isn't someone who comes from a well known or distinguished pedigree, but he seems determined to make those opportunities possible for his own kids and those of his constituents. I look forward to following his continued story. Congratulations to all of you!

Wes' legislators have failed the children of Baltimore City. The schools report is abysmal. Stop stealing the tax dollars and failing to uphold your fiduciary duties and accountability to the people. The crime is out of control. What's your plan? All I hear is you doubling down on bad policies that led us here. Pathetic.

Wes moore sat on a non profit where he paid himself millions of dollars. As a treasurer of a non profit myself thats actually NON PROFIT... He is disgustingly corrupt.
He makes me want to move back to Maryland!
As an older Black man born in 1955 in New York City (Manhattan), it is good to read and hear news about a Black man achieving oppose to being on the evening news for a crime committed.

Exactly.
He won in a landslide--and remember this is after 2 terms of a very well-liked Repub governor, Larry Hogan (moderate and an anti-trumper.) Maryland is a "blue" state, but there are pockets of ultra conservatives and right-wing religious here, at least where I live.
Let The Church Say Amen !!!! God Bless You And Behind Every Powerful Man Is A Phenomenal Wife , Family , Parents and Ancesters. Carry On!!!!! Miss Rosemary 76 years young lol!!!!
to all the accomplishments they list i would like to add that he has the most amazing and engaging smile I have ever seen on a human being! I wish him the best of luck on his endeavours!
Hold him accountable. Weve seen this too many times Stand up Maryland.

I love this Moore. I hope he runs for president.
Md budget has been great with Hogan. I hope he doesn't mess it up like O'Malley did.
Lots of people commenting here that He's a future presidential candidate. It's too early to tell whether or not he has what it takes to lead us as a nation. We need more than just a handsome man with a beautiful wife and children and a gigantic smile. Democrats have been running Baltimore for decades. They have yet to make a positive change. If he can clean up Baltimore, maybe he can look to higher office.

I could picture Governor-elect Moore a strong contender for 2028. Intelligent, a veteran, a Kenney-esque charm, and more importantly a strong moral compass.
By now, Everryone knows that "Wess is Moorre!" 👍
So prould ❤❤❤❤ i voted for him in the primary ❤❤
Get rid of the Harm, bring back the Charm!
Wait for it, for about a year? With the economy the way it is, high gas prices, crime skyrocketing and now the "can't carry anywhere" law into effect; gonna be an interesting time. Glad it's not my state.
Bless the Lord oh my soul!! This servant is anointed for leadership. He and Obama have to be best friends.
hear, har... congratulations! but wishes...
Bravo. Proud to have voted for him. Also, i am proud to have the former Governor Hogan to be also our former Governor. All the best to the former governor Hogan and Governor Wes Moore.
Let us be hopefull of his bills for the juveniles, the future of our world.
I hope he can fix baltimore. That town is in decline.
