‘There’s been no data to prove his performance cabinet has made government more efficient.’ — state Sen. Stephen Hershey
Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, whose tenure predates the second Trump administration by two years, claimed he had begun engaging in DOGE-type governance soon after Republican Gov. Larry Hogan Jr. departed in 2023.
Moore, a purported 2028 presidential contender who has sought to stifle such talk and instead focus on a potential second term, spoke to news outlet Semafor about potential parallels between his work and that of the Trump administration.
Editor Ben Smith asked Moore about addressing “fiscal burden[s]” within the Annapolis bureaucracy in a manner similar to the federal DOGE, while also discussing solutions to Maryland’s $3 billion budget deficit—an issue where Republicans and Democrats each blame the other.
“I come from the business world. And I do believe that in this moment we have to think about what type of [public] workforce is necessary and required,” Moore said, adding that when he took office, there were 10,000 vacancies in Annapolis, and many “basic functions” weren’t getting done.
Spend Moore is a legend in his own mind.
I bet those positions were filled with friends and campaign donors, which means, stuff is still not getting done
We need to get rid of Spend Moore!
Do we know who is going to try to Primary him?
Do we know who will run on the Conservative side?
Please No Moore stop your lying, you hypocrite! You fund everything against MD residents and US citizens. you make us pay for illegals in our schools, in our housing, in our hospitals. You make us pay for abortions for any one who comes to our state. you take away my choices; you make my electric bill go up and up and up. You make us pay for DEI and sexualization of our children. Please NO MOORE! God please protect MD from this criminal and his cronies.
