Maryland statewide candidates speak at county conference

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — Candidates for statewide offices in Maryland addressed a conference sponsored by the Maryland Association of Counties on Saturday in Ocean City, where they pledged to work with local leaders.

The Baltimore Sun reports that public health emergency management, police body-camera footage and tax collection were among the topics discussed.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wes Moore, whose campaign said he had a scheduling conflict, was the only one of the six major party nominees for governor, attorney general and comptroller who didn’t participate. Moore attended previous days of the conference.

Del. Dan Cox, Moore’s Republican opponent, noted Moore’s absence in his remarks.
