This week’s Feedback Friday topic is:
New Governor, New Administration
Out with the old, in with the new, as the saying goes. This week, Governor Wes Moore was inaugurated into the governorship…and he announced many new cabinet appointments, as follows:
Mayor Jake Day as the Secretary of Housing & Community Development; Kevin Atticks as the Secretary of Agriculture; Serena McIlwain as Secretary of Environment; Carol Beatty as Secretary of Disabilities; Josh Kurtz as Secretary of Natural Resources; Rebecca Flora as Secretary of Planning; Carmel Roques as Secretary of Aging; Kevin Anderson as Secretary of Commerce; and Mayor Emily Keller as Special Secretary of Opioid Response. Accordingly, the announcement stated, “The Moore-Miller Administration will feature the most diverse cabinet in the history of Maryland.”
Governor Moore, himself, said, “With each announcement, we continue to build a Cabinet that reflects the state we are humbled to serve. These leaders bring with them great knowledge and deep expertise. This is going to be Maryland’s decade, and our team will lead with service in their hearts.”
You can read about each cabinet member here.
What are your hopes for Maryland’s new administration? Specifically, what areas would you like to see the Moore administration focus on first? What cabinet positions and issues most interest you; and are you encouraged or disheartened by the overhaul?
Please share your thoughts by filling out this form. Today’s responses—and all future Feedback Friday responses—will be published in our Monday newsletters after the weekend. AND, several responses from recent topics will appear in our upcoming print magazines!
