Disclosure
No undisclosed priorities on record

Disclosure

A separate measure from the promise scorecard above. It tracks confirmed cases where this official has acted on or championed an issue that already existed when they ran, but which they did not disclose as a priority in their campaign. Each case meets a high evidence bar — three independent sources — and the score is shown alongside the Integrity Score, never merged into it. How this is measured.

No undisclosed priorities on record. This is not a clean-audit claim — it means none have been confirmed for this official.

What you see above is only what volunteers have catalogued so far — never the whole picture. Know a campaign promise that's missing, or have a source showing one was kept or broken? Add it, and StumpWatch tracks Wes Moore more completely. Every submission must cite where it came from, stays neutral, and is open to correction.

StumpWatch is live, and the record is still growing. Many promises and positions aren’t tracked yet, and some features are still in beta. Add a sourced promise and help keep the record honest.
