Wes Moore, Black Democrats aiming to make Maryland history

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Wes Moore could soon make history if elected Maryland’s first Black governor, and he’s not alone: Rep. Anthony Brown would be the state’s first Black attorney general. Aruna Miller, Moore’s running mate who immigrated from India, would be the first Asian-American elected statewide in Maryland.

If these Democrats win — Moore has led by more than 30 percentage points in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1 — Black politicians will hold many of the top state offices in Maryland, which is now a majority-minority state, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

With a victory, Moore would reclaim the governor’s office for Democrats, after eight years of term-limited Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.

1. where's the support, y'all?

...this is a Democratic success story.

DU is amazingly silent on this coming historic governorship, and on these extremely capable and dynamic candidates. It's my state, and I've been there for so many others, but, hey, whatever, right? Been here since 2003, active EVERY election.

Despite eight years of a completely ignorant republican rule, we're set to make this happen in my state. I'm positively ecstatic. Du's like

It's all good. I've got some gardening to do.
