Governor Wes Moore discusses bipartisan cooperation, election security and the Iran conflict

In a conversation on the Deseret Voices program, Maryland Governor Wes Moore described his close friendship with Utah Governor Spencer Cox and their joint "Disagree Better" effort, noting both shared goals and policy disagreements. He stressed the need for national redistricting reform and warned that partisan map-drawing threatens democracy. Moore expressed concern about possible federal actions—such as ICE or federal agents at polling places—that could intimidate voters, urging governors to defend state-run elections.

He also criticized the ongoing military campaign against Iran, calling it an endless war lacking a clear objective and warning that taxpayers are funding an undefined mission. Throughout, Moore emphasized the importance of focusing on practical solutions for everyday Americans rather than partisan blame games.
