Maryland governor contenders Moore and Perez push their visions on Baltimore radio, while Franchot is a no-show

In the tightly contested Democratic primary for governor, front-runners Wes Moore and Tom Perez shared their pitches with Baltimore radio listeners on Friday, while Peter Franchot opted not to participate in the joint appearance. Moore, a bestselling author and former nonprofit executive; Perez, former head of the Democratic National Committee; and Franchot, the longtime state comptroller; are statistically tied atop the Democratic field of candidates, according to a poll conducted by the Goucher College Poll in partnership with The Baltimore Banner and WYPR.
