Maryland Governor Wes Moore will campaign for Mikie Sherrill this coming weekend.

A military veteran, Moore will look to connect with voters mostly in Essex County.

The 63rd Governor of the state of Maryland, Moore is Maryland’s first Black Governor in the state’s 246-year history and is just the third African American elected Governor in the history of the United States.

The first Black Rhodes Scholar in the history of Johns Hopkins University, he earned a Master’s Degree in international relations from Wolfson College at Oxford.

In 2005, Moore deployed to Afghanistan as a lieutenant with the 82nd Airborne Division, leading soldiers in combat. Immediately upon returning home, Moore served as a White House Fellow, advising on issues of national security and international relations.

Making the rounds Sunday, Moore will pound on doors in the West Ward with Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for Governor of New Jersey; Newark Mayor Ras Baraka; and West Ward Democratic Committee Chairman Chigozie Onyema.
