The2022 Maryland gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nextgovernor of Maryland . Incumbent GovernorLarry Hogan was term-limited and could not seek a third consecutive term. This was the first gubernatorial election where both parties' nominees for lieutenant governor were women.[ 2]
The Democratic and Republican primaries were held on July 19,[ 3] with state delegateDan Cox securing the Republican nomination, while author and former nonprofit CEOWes Moore won the Democratic nomination. Political observers gave Moore a strong chance of defeating Cox in the general election, with Democrats outnumbering Republicans 2-to-1 in the state. Shortly after polls closed, several national news organizations called the election for Moore. Moore became the firstAfrican-American governor of Maryland after being sworn in on January 18, 2023.[ 4]
This race was one of six Republican-held governorships up for election in 2022 in a stateJoe Biden won in the2020 presidential election , and one of three that voted for Biden by double-digits. Moore flipped six counties Hogan won in 2018, and his electoral strength largely came from densely populatedPrince George's County ,Montgomery County , andBaltimore City , where he improved on the margins of 2018 Democratic nomineeBen Jealous by roughly 20 percent. Moore won more than twice as many votes as Cox, with hislandslide margin of victory the highest of any gubernatorial candidate in the state sinceWilliam Donald Schaefer in1986 . He was the first Democrat to carryAnne Arundel ,Frederick ,Kent , andTalbot counties since that election as well.[ 5]
Kelly Schulz , a former official in the administration of incumbent governorLarry Hogan , finished second in the primary.Robin Ficker , who served as a state legislator in the 1980s, finished third.Lieutenant GovernorBoyd Rutherford , who was seen as the likely Republican frontrunner in the race, announced in April 2021 that he would not seek to succeed GovernorLarry Hogan .Kelly Schulz , the Hogan administration's Secretary of Commerce and former Secretary of Labor, announced her candidacy just hours after Rutherford's announcement.[ 6]
State delegateDan Cox entered the race in July 2021, and received the endorsement of former presidentDonald Trump in November.[ 7] Hogan endorsed Schulz in the primary soon after, setting up a proxy war between Trump and Hogan in the Republican primary.[ 8] Schulz outpaced Cox in fundraising and had outspent Cox 4–1, but polling showed that the two candidates were running neck-and-neck.[ 9]
In June 2022, theDemocratic Governors Association spent $1.2 million for a television advertisement promoting Cox, hoping he would win the nomination and be easier for Democrats to defeat in November.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12] Schulz and Hogan accused Democrats of meddling in the Republican primary,[ 13] while Cox denied receiving any support from the DGA, saying that he had "nothing to do with the ad purchase".[ 14] Some observers, including strategist Jim Dornan, say that two factors — Trump's endorsement and the DGA ad blitz — allowed Cox to advance to the general election. Other observers, including formerMaryland lieutenant governor andRepublican National Committee chairMichael Steele , say the ads had little impact on voters, highlighting that far-right politician andneo-Confederate activistMichael Peroutka had won theAttorney General primary on the same ballot by an almost identical margin to Cox, even though the DGA did not run any ads on his behalf.[ 15]

Results by precinct Former state delegateAruna Miller was nominated for lieutenant governor. FormerU.S. Labor Secretary andDNC ChairTom Perez finished second in the primary. Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot finished third.Despite dropping out of the race, formerPrince George's County ExecutiveRushern Baker finished fourth. FormerMaryland Attorney General Doug Gansler finished fifth. The first two major Democratic candidates to announce were state ComptrollerPeter Franchot and former Prince George's County executiveRushern Baker . Both Franchot and Baker were seen as the leading candidates in the race, but early polling showed that more than 40 percent of likely voters were still undecided.[ 93] With high name recognition and a big war-chest built up over years without primary challengers as Comptroller, Franchot entered the race as the nominal frontrunner.[ 94]
As the campaign progressed, more candidates began entering the race, with Franchot holding onto a solid lead in polling as the race expanded to a four-way battle between Franchot, Baker, author and formerRobin Hood Foundation CEOWes Moore , and formerDemocratic National Committee chairmanTom Perez .[ 95] On June 10, 2022, Baker suspended his campaign for governor, his campaign having suffered from financial challenges and decreasing party support, creating an opening in voter-rich Prince George's County.[ 96] Polling conducted later that month byGoucher College showed Franchot, Moore, and Perez in a statistical tie, with each of the three frontrunners having enough resources and endorsements to compete for undecided voters.[ 97]
In addition to Franchot, Baker, Moore, and Perez, six other candidates also ran for the Democratic nomination, including former nonprofit executive Jon Baron, former Maryland attorney generalDoug Gansler , perennial candidate Ralph Jaffe, former Obama administration official Ashwani Jain, former Secretary of EducationJohn King Jr. , and former Bread and Roses Party founderJerome Segal . Two other candidates, former Republican Anne Arundel County executive Laura Neuman and tech company founder Mike Rosenbaum, also declared their candidacy but had dropped out before the primaries.[ 98]
Moore won the Democratic primary on July 19, 2022, beating out Perez and Franchot with 32.4 percent of the vote and by a margin of 15,349 votes in Maryland's closest Democratic gubernatorial primary since1966 .[ 99]

President Biden campaigning for Moore and otherMaryland Democrats Moore's campaign framed Cox as someone who would be "dangerous" in the governor's office,[ 272] highlighting his role in spreading falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election and theJanuary 6 United States Capitol attack .[ 273] [ 274] After the primary, Cox removed references to his role in challenging the 2020 presidential election results from his campaign website and deactivated his account onGab , a website that has been described as a social media haven for white supremacists and neo-Nazis and was used by the perpetrator of thePittsburgh synagogue shooting .[ 275] [ 276] He later described himself as a candidate with a "middle temperament approach" that was willing to work across the aisle.[ 277]
Cox's campaign sought to tie Moore to the national Democratic party and PresidentJoe Biden . He also sought to paint Moore as acommunist , citing Moore's requirement that people attending fundraisers and campaign rallies be vaccinated againstCOVID-19 .[ 278] [ 279] Moore countered that his service in the military and work on Wall Street and in finance would make calling him a communist a "bad stretch".[ 280]
Cox was critical of Moore's refusal to debate him.[ 281] [ 282] [ 283] In response to these criticisms, Moore said that he was "excited" to debate Cox.[ 284] [ 285] However, Moore's team initially declined to participate in debates with Cox, saying that they would "not otherwise share the stage with him and participate in anything that amplifies his dangerous and divisive rhetoric".[ 286] [ 287] On August 31, 2022, Moore agreed to a televised debate byMaryland Public Television with Cox on October 12.[ 288] Moore, when asked if he wished to share the stage with Cox again following the debate, said, "I think I'm good."[ 289]
