Detroit, MI, August 1, 2026 —
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Maryland Governor Wes Moore has taken on a prominent new role as the leader of the National Governors Association (NGA), a position that has amplified his voice on national issues. In his new capacity, Moore has voiced significant concerns about potential interference in upcoming midterm elections, particularly highlighting the actions of former President Donald Trump.
Moore stated he is “very concerned” regarding the possibility of interference, referencing past actions by the former president related to voting by mail and the acquisition of voter information. He characterized these past actions as evidence of “what he’s already doing in broad daylight,” suggesting a pattern of behavior that could impact future electoral processes.
The governor’s increased national visibility also coincides with his “Service United” initiative, which aims to mobilize Americans around service. The NGA chairmanship provides a platform for Moore to further his agenda and engage with governors across the political spectrum on pressing state and national challenges.
Beyond election integrity, the current political landscape, including broader political divisions within the Democratic party, is also a backdrop to Moore’s expanded role. The NGA chairmanship typically sees the leader address a range of issues affecting states, from economic development to public safety, while navigating the complex national political environment.
