Fighting for Equal Representation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, The Collective PAC — the nation’s largest political action committee dedicated to increasing Black political engagement, representation and power across all levels of government — endorsed Wes Moore for Governor of Maryland.
Wes Moore, a native of Maryland, is an author, combat veteran, Rhodes Scholar, and former CEO of one of the largest anti-poverty organizations in the country. Mr. Moore is committed to helping all Marylanders thrive and strengthening the state’s infrastructure through economic development, accessible healthcare, and high-quality educational opportunities.
Founders of The Collective PAC, Quentin James and Stefanie Brown James, released the following statement:
“The Collective PAC is proud to endorse Wes Moore for Governor of Maryland. The diverse range of experiences Mr. Moore will bring as governor is what’s needed most now to progress the state forward; exemplified by his innovative Ninety-To-Zero initiative to close the racial wealth gap by bringing together leading CEOs and executive directors from across the nation to create a roadmap for companies and organizations to collaborate and find lasting solutions to combat this vital issue. It’s his personal history of facing and overcoming adversity that has prepared Mr. Moore to serve in public office – he understands that the revitalization of Maryland extends past wealth equality and includes issues like the extension of transportation infrastructure and improving community-police relations.
Mr. Moore is an innovative leader committed to fighting for equity and equality to address the issues that matter most to Marylanders: affordable healthcare, quality education, economic development, public safety, accountability and transparency of those who are elected to serve. We are excited to support Wes Moore in his pursuit to improve the quality of life for all Marylanders and will do all we can as a collective, to help him win in 2022.”
