Moore said they’re already seeing how seriously the Hogan administration is taking the transition.
Moore announced that Lt. Gov.-elect Aruna Miller would lead his transition team.
Last month, Hogan named Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford to oversee the transition and serve as chief liaison to the incoming administration.
This morning I was grateful to meet with @GovLarryHogan to discuss our Transition.
