Rev. Al and I are excited to bring our audience another great interview with a man we both have tremendous respect for: the great Pat Moran. As we roll towards the end of the 2024 legislative session, one thing we know for sure is that there will be winners and losers.

Once again Pat Moran is a winner, but the real winners are the people he represents that work for our state. Patrick has been fighting for working people in their struggle for dignity and respect on the job for nearly 30 years across the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has been recognized twice by the Daily Records' Power 100, an annual list of the one hundred most powerful people in Annapolis, Maryland's state capitol. Moran's journey to leadership within AFSCME is marked by years of dedication and service to the labor movement. He rose through the ranks of AFSCME, starting his career as a union organizer before holding various leadership positions within the organization.

His grassroots background and deep understanding of the challenges facing working families have undoubtedly shaped his approach to leadership. In this episode we talk about his career, how he got started, how he stays motivated, and most importantly – we get a closer look at what shapes this man and his actions.

The Rev. and I watch in awe as Pat navigates the tough waters of Annapolis, through the good administrations and the bad ones. Thanks, Pat, for coming in and spending time with us, and thanks for the positive impact you have had on all state government workers and their families.

Enjoy!
