GOVERNOR’S CAMPAIGN ISSUES CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER

Governor Wes Moore’s campaign has issued a cease-and-desist letter, calling on Truth for Maryland PAC to stop running an ad related to ballot Question 3. Moore’s lawyers say the ad misuses the governor’s name and likeness in a misleading way, suggesting he is opposed to the redistricting question. The Truth for Maryland ad tells voters to vote for Moore, but against Question 3. The ad says Moore has promised to Leave No One Behind and voting against Question 3 will help him keep that promise. Moore’s campaign says ripping off Governor Moore’s identity and branding through Trump-style misinformation and disinformation won’t work in Maryland.
