Governor Wes Moore
Governor Wes Moore, the 63rd Governor of Maryland, has dedicated his career to expanding opportunity and ensuring equitable outcomes. From leading the Robin Hood Foundation, where he oversaw the distribution of over $600 million for poverty reduction, to founding BridgeEdU to improve college success for underserved students, his career reflects this commitment.
His service as a captain in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, including combat in Afghanistan, and his time as a White House Fellow further instilled values of leadership and public service. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins and a Rhodes Scholar, Governor Moore's academic background provides a strong foundation for his governance. In 2022, he became the first Black governor of Maryland, elected with the highest number of individual votes in the state's history.
