Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is set to release a new book in March titled "Repair: Healing a Divided Nation." Henry Holt & Company announced that the book will be published on March 9.
The publisher describes the book as an "honest assessment" of the country that proposes a "path forward that leaves no one behind." Moore, who recently won a landslide reelection as Maryland's first Black governor, stated that his experiences in the state inspired the work.
"In Maryland, I’ve seen what happens when good people do hard things, even in the face of unimaginable odds. This book documents those stories, as well as other memories of service from my life inside and outside of politics,” Moore said in a statement released through his publisher. “My goal was never to produce a personal political memoir. It was to pose hard questions and spark honest dialogue. This book is about how we can rediscover our common humanity and relearn our common purpose. I offer my thoughts, with an invitation for readers to lend theirs. In the work of repair, every fingerprint matters.”
While Moore has stated he is not planning to run for president in 2028, book releases are a common practice for potential presidential candidates. Other political figures, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, have also released books or have them in development.
Moore is an established author, having previously written the memoirs "The Work" and "The Other Wes Moore," which explored his connection with an individual who shared his name and was serving a prison sentence.
