Wes Moore
The Convener
The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.
Wes Moore is The Convener because his leadership biography is built on uniting constituencies that rarely share a table. As Governor of Maryland he has drawn corporate Baltimore, historically Black communities, veterans networks, and federal partners into a shared economic equity agenda. A bestselling memoir and military service give him cross-demographic credibility of a rare kind, and he converts that networked standing into strategic coalitions rather than a cult of individual authority.
“I'm not the leader of the resistance. I'm the governor of Maryland. I've got six and a half million people who I answer to, and some of whom voted for Donald Trump, some of whom did not.”
“I've introduced twenty-six pieces of legislation since I've been the governor. Not only have we gone twenty-six for twenty-six, we've gone twenty-six for twenty-six bipartisan, with both Democrat and Republican support.”
“We've got to get out of this crisis by focusing on growth. We're reforming the tax code to make us more competitive and to make taxes simpler, fair, and pro-growth.”
