Several Republican elected officials in Maryland crossed party lines and endorsed Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) in his reelection campaign.

The state Republican leaders backing Moore largely credited his bipartisanship efforts and his leadership through state tragedies, like the 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Republican mayors across the state joined the governor on Wednesday at the annual J-Millard Tawes Crab and Clambake Festival in Crisfield, Maryland, to voice their support.
