WES MOORE’S MARYLAND: 45th in net migration. 46th worst for tax competitiveness. 49th for starting a business. But don’t worry, we still lead the nation in something: one of the highest gas taxes and the highest utility bills in America. Thanks, @GovWesMoore.

.@GovWesMoore spent $180,000 wining and dining Churchill Downs executives who are buying the Preakness IP for $85 million in a suite closed to the press, then told reporters he's "very encouraged" by his conversations with them. Maryland owes them $3 million a year once that deal closes. Encouraged on your dime. thebanner.com/politics-power…

So @GovWesMoore, answer the question posed by the @baltimoresun: what exactly did you do other than be a “professional non-participant?” Just release your records if there is nothing to hide. It’s simple.

.@GovWesMoore will look you dead in the eye and tell you he cut your taxes. Just like the rest of his life, it's a complete lie. Your car registration, title fees, and utility surcharges say otherwise. His approval rating matches @MartinOMalley at the end of his second term. Moore hasn't even finished his first. That Republican @GovLarryHogan though? Left office at 77% in one of the bluest states in the country. Marylanders know a failure when they see one. cc: @CarterElliottIV @ammarmufasa

While @GovWesMoore signed emergency legislation to let violent criminals back on the streets, @ivanjbates has fought to keep them behind bars. Any progress on crime in Baltimore belongs to Ivan Bates, not @iamwesmoore. Nice try, Carter.

COMPLETE CLOWNSHOW: @GovWesMoore inherited a $5.5 billion surplus and called it a "fortunate financial position." He spent it. All of it and then some. Then he signed the largest tax and fee hike in state history to cover his reckless spending. For the first time ever, Moody's downgraded Maryland's bond rating with billions in deficits projected through 2030. Reporters spent days trying to ask him about it. He ran every single time. That's not a record. That's Wes.

TOTAL FRAUD: @GovWesMoore claimed a Bronze Star he didn't have for 18 years, a thesis he never submitted, and a record a retired brigadier general called a "professional non-participant." He had months to respond to six questions. He attacked the newspaper instead. That's Wes.

REMINDER: @GovLarryHogan delivered the Harry Nice Bridge — longer than the Key Bridge — ahead of schedule and under budget. @GovWesMoore fired his Key Bridge contractor after costs ballooned by $8 BILLION. No contractor. No timeline. No accountability. One of these governors knew how to run something. The other is running for president.

Call it what it is, @CarterElliottIV: a lies page. Just look at the economy. Registration fees up. Title fees up. Utility surcharges up. IT services taxed for the first time. $250 million dumped on counties that raised your property taxes. $6 billion deficit projected by 2030. @GovWesMoore has one proven accomplishment. Lying. And he's very good at it.

.@GovWesMoore told us the Key Bridge rebuild was the "fastest-moving" project in the country. The contractor was fired. Costs have ballooned from $1.8 billion to $9 billion. No builder. No bridge. No accountability. This is what happens when you're more focused on 2028 than Maryland. thebanner.com/economy/key-br…

Fraud is a strong word. It's also the right one. He's not from Baltimore. He didn't earn a Bronze Star. He claimed a Hall of Fame that doesn't exist. He inherited a surplus and called it a deficit. He signed the largest fee hike in state history and called it relief. His family history doesn't match the records. Retired generals reviewed his military file and called him a professional non-participant. He hasn't answered six basic questions about any of it. If he's been lying about his own life for decades, what exactly has he been telling the truth about as governor? Nothing.

PROFESSIONAL NON-PARTICIPANT: That’s how retired Army officers described @GovWesMoore’s record. From the Bronze Star story to “from Baltimore” to calling the largest tax hike in state history “relief,” it’s the same pattern every time. These are not mistakes. This is a life based on lies. baltimoresun.com/2026/05/03/…

You can always tell when @GovWesMoore is out of state on the taxpayer dime for his presidential tour by how many tweets Carter puts out trying to defend failure. Hey, @CarterElliottIV, how’s the Key Bridge coming? Where’s your boss? Heard he’s in Miami today?

Accurate. Just look at the lies and failures. When a banner plane is doing more honest work than the governor's $246,000 communications director, you've got a problem. cc: @A_Tall_Turner
