Maryland Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wes Moore has picked up a major endorsement from one of the state’s largest unions: the Maryland Fraternal Order of Police.
The police union voted Tuesday to back Moore, a best-selling author and former nonprofit chief, in his bid against Republican nominee Dan Cox to become Maryland’s next governor.
Clyde Boatwright, president of the Maryland FOP, said the union members were impressed by Moore’s résumé and his vision of improving education and increasing jobs as part of an overall crime-fighting plan.
