MARYLAND (WBFF) — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore will headline an annual political gathering in Texas next month, marking another high-profile trip for a governor whose national profile is growing.
Moore and former “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd will open the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin and engage in “a wide-ranging conversation on the state of his state, the state of the nation, and the state of his party in this extraordinary moment,” according to a Texas Tribune news release. The event will be held at Austin’s First Baptist Church Sanctuary on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 13, the outlet reported.
The Texas Tribune Festival, which will run through Nov. 15, will also feature leaders like Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Aaron Reitz, a 2026 Republican candidate for Texas attorney general. Tickets for the three-day event start at $350 for general admission, with a significant discount for students and educators.
The Baltimore Sun reached out to Moore’s office with questions related to the cost of Moore’s trip for Maryland taxpayers, as well as the governor’s schedule while in Texas. His office didn’t immediately respond to this request.
