Over the course of the campaign, we worked with experts, community members, and leaders to build a comprehensive vision. Read our policy plans, which will inform the transition committees’ work, here.
The Moore-Miller team is building a historically inclusive transition, and we need you to be a part of it. All Marylanders are welcome to engage in this transition process as at-large members of a transition committee. We invite you to stay involved by joining us as we host a series of virtual roundtable discussions on the kitchen table issues you care about the most. These critical conversations will focus on key policy areas such as education, public safety, healthcare, transportation, and more.
