President Donald Trump appointed Gov. Wes Moore to a bipartisan cohort of governors guiding state and federal cooperation.

The president is responsible for appointing governors to the Council of Governors — five from each party — to two-year terms, according to the National Governors Association website.

The delegation advises on state and federal partnerships for the country’s disaster response efforts, support for military families, cybersecurity and federal budgetary decisions.

A Moore spokesperson said the governor is looking forward to serving on the council and “hopes to use this role to advocate for a renewed partnership between states and the federal government, to support service members and their families, and make us stronger and safer at home and abroad.”

The Trump administration made the announcement Wednesday in a news release.

Moore was named along with a gaggle of familiar names of high-profile governors — most, if not all, have had their names floated as someday presidential contenders.

Here’s who made the list and their political party.

  • Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Republican, co-chair
  • North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein, Democrat, co-chair
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Republican
  • Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Republican
  • Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, Republican
  • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Democrat
  • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Democrat
  • New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Democrat
  • Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Democrat

The National Governors Association winter meeting kicks off in Washington, D.C., tomorrow. Moore is scheduled to attend, according to his office.
