Moore Leads NGA Amid Election Fears | Richmond News

Maryland Governor Wes Moore is taking on a major national role as chair of the National Governors Association, where he’s sounding the alarm over potential Trump-era election interference—including mail-in voting restrictions, voter data grabs, and federal agents at polling places. He’s pushing the bipartisan NGA to defend states’ constitutional right to run their own elections. With his national profile soaring and whispers of a 2028 presidential run already swirling, Moore is staying focused on November—but quietly building momentum through his “Service United” initiative, which aims to create career paths via public service, backed by big donors and even some GOP allies. Yet, he’s navigating deep political divides, balancing Republican pressure on voting rules with Democratic fears of suppression, while also distancing himself from progressive stances like abolishing police or prisons. His biggest challenge? Keeping the NGA united while defending democracy in an increasingly polarized landscape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
