Wes Moore and Dan Cox, Maryland's candidates for governor, have bought few to no ads with the election a month away and Moore leading by wide margins.
Turn the television on in Florida and Texas and voters are being bombarded daily with ads for gubernatorial candidates who have spent upward of $25 million in the past month making their pitches. The same holds true in Georgia, where candidates have spent almost $22 million in the past 30 days.Meanwhile, in Maryland, where Democrat Wes Moore and Republican Dan Cox are competing to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, the airwaves are silent.
With a lack of money to purchase ads and trailing by double-digits in polls, the stakes are high for Cox, a hard-right, Trump-endorsed conservative delegate from Frederick County.Cox, who defeated Gov. Larry Hogan’s protege, Kelly Schulz, in the primary, faces a fractured state GOP, with some top officials, including Hogan,Political observers and strategists say there is little Cox can do to make up for where he stands in the lopsided contest.
Both candidates are relative unknowns to voters. Cox is a freshman delegate who sponsored 14 bills restricting abortion access and has said coronavirus mandates inspired his run for governor. Moore, a veteran and Rhodes scholar who has aspired to run for public office since he was in college, is making his first bid.
Justin Schall, a Democratic strategist who managed Anthony G. Brown’s 27-point gubernatorial primary victory in 2014, said if Cox, whoscheduled next week at former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, cannot raise enough money to get on the air, Moore does not need to rush to make his buys. Schall predicts that Moore is not likely to saturate the airways anytime soon.
