Maryland Gov.-elect Wes Moore is in the midst of a political transition, but he also has to make a personal transition.

Moore and his family currently live in a large home in Baltimore’s Guilford neighborhood, but a spokesman said they plan to move to Government House, the official residence in Annapolis that’s more commonly known as simply the “governor’s mansion.”

Outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan said he and his wife Yumi will soon host the Moore family, which includes the governor-elect, his wife Dawn Flythe Moore and children Mia and James.

“As we get closer to the holidays and Government House is all decorated up, we’re going to have the whole family over and give them a tour of the mansion and let them know about their new house,” Hogan told reporters Thursday.

When the Moores move in, it will be the first time in eight years that there will be children living in the mansion, as the Hogans’ daughters are all grown. (The Hogans’ grandchildren have been regular visitors, though.)

The governor-elect’s spokesman told The Baltimore Banner that the move to Annapolis will come with a perk for the Moore children: The family plans to get a dog.

Hogan’s mum on his ballot choice

Speaking of Hogan, we know that he did not vote for the Republican candidate for governor, Dan Cox, who he has called a “QAnon whack job” who is unfit to govern.

So who did Hogan vote for? He’s not saying.

“You know, I think that’s why they had the secret ballot,” Hogan said. “I went in there and voted for somebody but I don’t have to tell you guys who it was.”
