Making history, Wes Moore and his running mate, former Delegate Aruna Miller, will be the next Governor and Lt. Governor of Maryland. As reported by Maryland Matters,
A charismatic 44-year-old political newcomer with a sterling resume that includes experience in business, philanthropy and the military, Moore was fueled to victory by powerhouse margins in Baltimore and the large counties in the I-95 corridor, including Montgomery, Prince George’s, Baltimore and Howard. Several national news organizations declared Moore the winner over Republican state legislator Dan Cox just moments after polls closed at 8 p.m.
As of 10:30 p.m., with 1,531 of 2,074 Election Day precincts reporting, Moore had 60.1% of the vote. Cox had 36.6%.
And while Moore is at the top of the ticket, his running mate, former Montgomery County state Del. Aruna Miller, who was born in India, will also make history when the duo assume power in January — as the first immigrant to hold a statewide post in the modern era and the first woman of color to serve as lieutenant governor.
