A federal campaign filing by NoMoore.org, a group that Democratic Party operatives called “shadowy,” raises more questions than it answers about the group that is using social media to needle the first-term Democratic governor.

The group in August filed a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission for the NoMoore Political Action Committee, a “hybrid” PAC that can raise unlimited amounts of money for independent expenditures, and limited amounts for candidate donations. But the PAC has yet to report any fundraising activity and its sole listed officer, who also oversees two dozen other conservative PACs out of a Northern Virginia mail drop, did not respond to requests for comment.

NoMoore.org, in an unsigned response to reporter’s questions, insisted its efforts are focused on issue education not electioneering.

“Our organization is focused solely on supporting or opposing policies at the state level and calling out the failures of those in power in Annapolis. Our mission is to fight back against the reckless tax-and-spend policies that are destroying our state,” the organization said in its email.

Rumors persist about the identity of those behind the group. Democrats, including the state party and those who support Moore, insist the group has motivations beyond issue education.

“We love that we are living in the head of Governor Moore and the out-of-touch Maryland Democratic Party,” the group wrote.

Some theorize the virtual jabs are an effort to soften Moore up in anticipation of the 2026 election and a potential head-to-head contest with former Gov. Larry Hogan. The Republican predecessor to Moore is often mentioned as a potential 2026 candidate, and has at times has teased the idea himself, but has not made any public moves that indicate he is running.

Others suggest the NoMoore campaign is meant to strip the shine off Moore, a rising national star in his party and considered a potential candidate for president in 2028. So far, Moore maintains that he is not considering such a run.

A spokesperson for the Moore re-election campaign declined to comment on this story.
