The police union voted Tuesday to back Moore, a best-selling author and former nonprofit chief, over Dan Cox (R) to become Maryland’s next governor.
An endorsement from the Maryland FOP to a Democratic candidate is not unusual in Maryland. Former lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown won it in 2014 in his bid against Larry Hogan . Hogan received it in 2018 in his run for reelection.Larry Stafford, executive director of Progressive Maryland, said there has been a sea change in policing since Brown’s endorsement in 2014. Since 2014 — the year Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was killed by a Ferguson, Mo.
Brian Jones, a spokesman for Moore, said the endorsement underscores “how clear the choice is between the Democratic and Republican nominees for governor and the extensive coalition we are assembling and that we are taking nothing for granted in his campaign and are looking to bring every entity that has a stake in the future of Maryland” to the table.Moore attended the FOP’s conference Tuesday to make a bid for the endorsement of the 21,000-member union.
