List of governors of Maryland

For a list of colonial governors, see List of colonial governors of Maryland.

The governor of Maryland is the head of government of the U.S. state of Maryland and is the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.[1] The governor is the highest-ranking official in the state, and the constitutional powers of Maryland's governors make them among the most powerful governors in the United States.[2]

The current governor is Democrat Wes Moore, who took office on January 18, 2023.[3]

Governors

edit
For the period before independence, see List of colonial governors of Maryland.

Maryland was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and was admitted as a state on April 28, 1788.[4] Before it declared its independence, Maryland was a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Under the constitution of 1776, governors were appointed by the General Assembly legislature to one-year terms. They could be reelected for two additional terms, though they must take four years off after leaving office. An 1838 constitutional amendment allowed for popular election of governors to three-year terms, though they could not succeed themselves. The 1851 constitution removed the term limit, and lengthened terms to four years, to commence on the second Wednesday of January following the election. Governors were limited to two consecutive terms beginning in 1948.[5]

The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1864, abolished in 1867, and recreated in 1970. The lieutenant governor succeeds to the office of governor should it become vacant. In the original constitution, the first named of the Governor's Council would act as governor if it were vacant, until a new governor was selected; this was changed to the secretary of state in 1837.[6] The 1867 constitution originally called for the General Assembly to immediately elect a new governor; if they were not in session, the president of the Senate would act as governor until one was elected.[7]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1864, abolished in 1867, and recreated in 1970.[8][9]
  2. ^ Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Under the 1776 constitution, governors were limited to no more than three years successively, and ineligible until four years after they had been out of office.[18]
  4. ^ Wright resigned due to a loss of popularity,[56] and to secure a seat on the Maryland Court of Appeals, though he was not appointed to it.[57]
  5. ^ Special election to fill the remainder of Robert Wright's term.
  6. ^ a b c d e Under an 1837 amendment to the constitution, elected governors were ineligible to succeed themselves.[112]
  7. ^ Sobel says Lowe was limited from succeeding himself due to an 1846 amendment, but this appears to be in error.[130]
  8. ^ Whyte resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[154]
  9. ^ McLane resigned, having been confirmed as United States Minister to France.[170]
  10. ^ a b c O'Conor resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate. Lane, who won the election, was elected by the legislature to succeed O'Conor immediately, five days before he would have taken office.[222]
  11. ^ a b c d e f g h Under a 1948 amendment to the constitution, governors who have served two consecutive elected terms are ineligible for the next term.[230]
  12. ^ Agnew resigned, having been elected Vice President of the United States.[235]
  13. ^ Mandel was elected by the Maryland General Assembly to fill the vacancy left by Agnew's resignation.
  14. ^ a b Mandel named Lieutenant Governor Lee acting governor on June 4, 1977, as he was dealing with charges of mail fraud and racketeering, and citing health reasons;[246] he would be found guilty in August, and sentenced to four years in prison in October. He rescinded the designation on January 15, 1979, two days before the end of the term; he then made Lee acting governor again for a time on January 16 so he could preside at the installation of a judge on the Court of Appeals.[245][239]
  15. ^ Moore's first term will expire January 20, 2027.
