About Martin O'Malley

The former front man of the Irish fusion band, O’Malley’s March, who also incidentally, is the two-term Governor of Maryland, served noticed of a possible run for 2016 after agreeing to a speaking engagement in March 2013 in Charleston, South Carolina – only 500 miles and two states south of Annapolis. Nothing unusual about that, right?

That aside, Maryland’s remarkable drop in crime statistics, number one national ranking of public schools, $1b cash reserves, 8th fastest post-recession national recovery rate, and number one rank for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, are things that any potential candidate would love to have on their resume.

Former Governor O'Malley announced his bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination on May 30, 2015 in Baltimore.
