Wes Moore, his running mate former Delegate Aruna Miller and dozens of supporters gathered for the opening of the Moore campaign’s Prince George’s County field office March 5. The office has opened in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Moore opens the office as the statewide race begins to gather momentum. Even at this early stage, the race has already begun to crystallize along lines of political support and endorsement.
“It means the world to me being here in Prince George’s County, I am Prince George’s Proud because Prince George’s runs through my very fiber. It’s in my DNA. It was the first introduction we ever had to the state of Maryland where my grandfather was a soldier. When my grandfather left the military, he became a postal worker here in Prince George’s County.”

Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks joined the opening and announced her support for the campaign and endorsed Moore for Governor of Maryland.
“You cannot be an effective leader if your compassion is not clear to people. This is a man who loves people, who loves God, who loves his family, who loves his country and who loves his community. I don't know if we need any more,” Alsobrooks said.

In a statement, Alsobrooks gave further detail to her endorsement.
From the first time we met, it was clear that Wes Moore was sharp, empathetic, and had a true heart for the people. In my eyes, those are the makings of a true transformational leader.
As County Executive, it is important to me to have someone in the Governor’s mansion who will be a real partner in helping to improve the lives of Prince Georgians. We need a Governor who will:
Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks
* restore our communities and our economy after COVID-19 has devastated so many of us for the past two years.
* prioritize funding for education to ensure that all of our children, regardless of their zip code, have access to a quality education.
* make our neighborhoods safer by focusing on reducing violent crime and getting illegal guns off of our streets.
* fight for environmental justice and innovative use of clean energy practices.
When I look at the range of Wes’s experience leading soldiers in combat, building and running a small business in Maryland, and being CEO of one of the largest anti-poverty organizations in America – I know he is the leader Maryland needs in our next governor.
