MD Lt. Gov. Engineer. Dog person. I am not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it. By authority: Moore for Maryland, Mary Tydings, Treasurer
Maryland, I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for your hard work, your stories, and your dreams which have given life to our movement.
I am humbled and honored to be your lieutenant governor-elect.
Maryland, tonight you showed the nation what a small but mighty state can do when democracy is on the ballot.
You chose unity over division, expanding rights over restricting rights, hope over fear.
You chose Wes Moore and me to be your next Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
My friend

gubernatorial portraits are dashing. Here are mine…BTW, I’m wearing the smile you all gave me.

Thank you, Maryland.

@iamwesmoore
and I are so humbled that Maryland voters have chosen us to be the Democratic nominees for governor and lieutenant governor. We built a coalition that looks like the state of Maryland and we look forward to building on that community to win this election. (thread)
Coming to the U.S. as a 7 year old, I could have never imagined being here today, ready to assume the office of Maryland’s lieutenant governor.
And I could not be more grateful.
Trust the Universe, it has plans for you too.
On the 1st day of

, Maryland’s 1st Black Governor,
@GovWesMoore
, delivers a soul stirring State of the State address.
It’s going to be the greatest honor of my life to serve beside him for the state we love and the people we love. ♥️ Maryland.
From Western Maryland to Southern Maryland, Charm City to Pocomoke City to Ocean City, Gorgeous Prince George’s to Mountain Maryland.
Our Maryland is one where people feel safe in their communities and in their skin, where we show the nation that our rights are not up for grabs.
This inauguration morning, we gathered here at the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley memorial in Annapolis to lay a wreath. An incredibly powerful way to start this momentous day.
Before I ask you for anything, I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for being here today and for being a part of this moment.
We need you. We need your hope, we need your stories, we need your partnership — and I can promise you this, we’re only just getting started.

@iamwesmoore
and I are ready to get to work. Our administration is committed to working in partnership across sectors to build a Maryland that leaves no one behind. And we’re only just getting started.

In its 41-year-old history the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy has never gone this long without a leader or official mandate. Without science, it's fiction, right .

This morning, I convened senior members of my team for a briefing on the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge.
I've directed my Administration to ensure every federal resource is available to assist search and rescue efforts and response to this terrible incident.
Congratulations to every candidate who took the courage to run. Our campaign lost the battle in Maryland’s Congressional District 6 but we still have a war to fight. I look forward to joining you on the war we wage against hate, inequality, poverty, & injustice.
Happy New Year! 🎉
Maryland, thank you so much for making 2022 such an extraordinary year. In the new year, never, ever underestimate the power you have to make tomorrow better than yesterday.
Any acts of harm against any community due to their religion or in how they identify is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
@iamwesmoore
and I stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters. Hate has no place in Maryland.
I am deeply disturbed by several horrific antisemitic graffiti which occurred overnight in our community near the Trolley Trail in Bethesda (pictured) and along Tuckerman Lane with swastika and neo-Nazi symbolism as well as “White Power” and ”Defend Bethesda.” 1/
It took me a long time to realize that it was never about needing to fit into a space created by others.
It was always about having the courage to be my authentic self in every space.
Today,

To many more shared Moore-Miller moments!
Nothing like a polar plunge to start the day! 🥶 💪🏾

Good luck to every candidate who took the courage to run. Thank you to every volunteer for your dedication to our democracy. To my family and friends, thank you for your unwavering love. Onwards!

#MooreForMaryland
Ever since I came to this country in 1972, I’ve never stopped being excited for the promise of America.
I will never stop fighting to make sure that promise is available to everyone.
And this promise begins with a commitment to deliver a Maryland where we Leave No One Behind.
Having my amazing husband and your Second Gentleman by my side for this magical moment fills my heart ❤️ Thank you for serving as co-chair of The People’s Ball and thank you for all that you do for our family.
I am proud to announce two new Steering Committee members to our team: Montgomery County Councilmember
@willjawando
and Co-Chairman of the Maryland Business-Clergy Partnership Joe Gaskins. These fierce leaders will help us to create a Maryland where no one is left behind.
My dad was a rebel, a non-conformist, a risk taker. My mom is the strongest person I know.

Spring break. Dad gets a tour of the university. When asked if he wanted to see the rare book library, he responded, nah. You’re the only one-of-a-kind he came to see, kid. 🥰
This is our time, Maryland. We can’t thank you enough - for the love, the cherished moments, the laughter, the tears, and every single second in between.
Maryland, you chose Wes Moore and me to be your Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and we will always choose you.

@iamwesmoore
from the moment I met you, I knew you were going to be an incredible leader but what I didn't know was that you were going to be an exceptional friend. Thank you for your friendship and trust.
12 days.
My family - the ones who believed in me from the very beginning.
My greatest cheerleaders. You never doubted what we could achieve and I am so lucky to have each of you by my side.
We’ve made history today. But the power is not in the history-making, the power is in the people. In each and every one of you.
We’ve said it since the beginning of this journey and this night is no different.
This night is not about us, it is about you and it always has been.
My sincerest congratulations to Comptroller

It’s not about what the pollsters tell us or who the papers endorse or which candidate has the most money. In the end, it’s about following our conscience, voting for a candidate that represents our values, and investing in our democracy. Right,

We will partner with our local communities to be build a transportation network that is safer, cleaner, efficient, and more equitable.
It’s odd that
@GovLarryHogan
is attacking
@BenJealous
on misspoken remarks. This doesn’t sound like a candidate who is supposedly “up in the polls”. It sounds like a candidate who doesn’t want to talk about real issues and is instead, hitting below the belt.
The first portrait I requested to be added to the Maryland Lieutenant
Governor’s office is that of

#Maryland
raised minimum wage .75 cents to $11.75 this year but this still clearly falls short of a living wage with the ⬆ cost of rent, food & medical care. It's time to
#raisethewage
nationally & create good jobs to build our infrastructure and build a better future for all.
The lowest average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the US is in West Virginia, which comes to $7,500 per year.
$7.25/hr is $15k per year. The tipped wage is even less.
So some are paying half of their income in rent–plus utilities, healthcare, and childcare.

The moment that started a movement. Each day since, my excitement for the future of Maryland grows exponentially.
@iamwesmoore
and I will make good on our promise to leave no one behind. And we’ll always do it with a smile.
Wishing a Happy Birthday and the very best to
@IAmWesMoore

Maryland’s First Lady,
@DawnFlytheMoore

I am so proud of my friend,
@DawnFlytheMoore
for sharing her journey of living with Multiple Sclerosis.
Like the First Lady, so many Marylanders live with an autoimmune disease. Our administration is committed to making sure they have the support and care they need.
