Governor hopefuls Dan Cox, Wes Moore help distribute water in West Baltimore

Four days into West Baltimore’s water contamination situation and the ensuing boil advisory, the two candidates for Maryland governor hustled just a few neighborhoods apart Thursday to distribute fresh water bottles to residents and talk about the need for accountability during what has been called a health crisis. “God bless you,” Wes Moore said to nearly every person as he leaned into their front passenger windows or opened their trunks to give them a 24-pack of water bottles outside Wylie’s Funeral Home in Harlem Park. Moore, a Democrat who lives in the city, wore a Home Depot apron and handed off the bottles paid for by the company.
