My name is Wes Moore.
The son of an immigrant.
A combat veteran.
A proud graduate of a junior college.
And I’m fighting for a Maryland where we leave no one behind.
Thank you, Maryland!
What an amazing night, and what an improbable journey.
I am grateful to every one of you for the hard work you put in to make tonight happen.

Nury Martínez resigned from her #LosAngeles City Council seat Wednesday and offered her apologies, but the disparaging remarks still deeply hurt the city’s immigrants from Oaxaca, which has one of Mexico’s largest #Indigenous populations. (@AP)
