Aruna Miller’s husband bought her Wes Moore’s book, “The Other Wes Moore,” for her birthday this year. She devoured it one night.
“I completely OD’d on Wes Moore,” Miller recalled in an interview Wednesday.
One month later, Moore and Miller are teaming up in the gubernatorial race.
Moore, the author and former foundation CEO who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, has selected Miller, a former state delegate from Montgomery County, to be his running mate.
Moore said Miller meets all his criteria for an ideal candidate for lieutenant governor.
“I am ecstatic and I am so humbled,” he said. “Aruna is someone I have long admired. She is a principled and a very seasoned legislator and executive. She has had a chance to work in both the legislative and executive branches. And she’s fought for families.”
