Moore holds funding edge in Maryland gubernatorial primary

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Wes Moore is entering the last five weeks of Maryland’s crowded Democratic primary for governor with a fundraising edge.

He also got a boost from Oprah Winfrey to help him down the stretch. Republican Kelly Schulz, endorsed by term-limited Gov. Larry Hogan, holds a big fundraising advantage in the race for the GOP’s nomination. Maryland’s primary is July 19. Mail-in ballots will begin arriving at residential addresses this week, the state elections board announced Monday. More than 400,000 mail-in ballots have been sent to eligible Maryland voters so far.

In-person early voting begins July 7.
