When giving his victory oration, Moore referenced his “leave no one behind” slogan, saying, “When I led soldiers into battle in Afghanistan as an army captain, we adhered to a simple principle: leave no one behind. We lifted each other up and helped each other out. Real patriotism is about uniting people. It is about supporting one another and improving each other’s lives.”

Aruna Miller[Moore's running mate] also made history as the lieutenant governor of Maryland, becoming the first immigrant to win the position. After two terms as a Republican governor, Larry Hogan, one of the nation's most beloved governors in Maryland, the governorship has returned to Democrats.
