Wes Moore, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Maryland, received a high profile endorsement Saturday when opening a new field office for his campaign in Upper Marlboro.
In a blow to former Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker — who, for the second time, is running for governor — current County Executive Angela Alsobrook made a surprise appearance at Moore’s event, announcing her support for the candidate.
“I believe that Wes Moore is the leader that we need in this moment, and I fully support his effort to be our next Governor,” said Alsobrooks in a statement.
