I realize that most of my fellow Marylanders will not vote for the next governor based on his selection of a running mate. The lieutenant governor earns about $150,000 a year as backup quarterback; unless a governor goes on the injured reserve list or gives the LG something really important to do, the LG pretty much rides the bench. So most voters are choosing between Wes Moore, the Democratic candidate, and Dan Cox, the Trump-endorsed Republican. They’re not looking so much at the women running with them — former Maryland delegate Aruna Miller with Moore and attorney Gordana Schifanelli with Cox.
