BALTIMORE — One is a Republican, the other a Democrat. Both have run for local public office, one successfully, the other not.
But as military veterans, they both have high hopes and warm words for Wes Moore, who on Tuesday became the first former service member to be elected governor of Maryland in 36 years. The last was William Donald Schaefer, a World War II veteran.
“I applaud [Moore] because of the selfless service he has provided,” said Ed Rothstein, 59, a former garrison commander of Fort Meade who himself was elected Tuesday night, to a second term as Carroll County commissioner.
