Gov.-elect Wes Moore (D) completed his metamorphosis from candidate to chief executive-in-waiting Thursday, meeting with the man he’ll succeed in two months and revealing the leaders and framework of his transition team.
“It’s a great day because it’s an actualization of something we’ve talked about for a long, long time,” Moore said during an appearance at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy in College Park, where he announced that Lt. Gov.-elect Aruna Miller (D) will lead his transition effort.
The “transition and transformation” team, as Moore labeled it, will have four co-chairs and will be run on a day-to-day basis by Cleo Hirsch, the executive director for COVID response at the Baltimore City Public Schools.
The co-chairs are Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D), who also joined Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman’s transition team on Thursday; Shelonda Stokes, president of the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore; Mary Tydings, Moore’s campaign treasurer who is a longtime executive at a national business executive search firm and is daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Joseph D. Tydings (D); and Ken Ulman, the former Howard County executive who now runs an economic development and planning consulting firm that is partially responsible for the recent transformation of the commercial district of College Park.
