A letter from the law firm Sandler Reiff Lamb Rosenstein & Birkenstock accuses the PAC of creating the impression that Moore opposes the ballot question. Moore supports Question 3, his campaign said. The letter also alleges violations of Maryland’s election-misinformation law and says the matter has been referred to the State Board of Elections.

The campaign’s statement said the ad’s use of Moore’s identity would not persuade Marylanders that he opposes the measure, adding that he is voting yes. The statement framed the question as a way to counter what it called President Donald Trump’s power grabs.

The legal letter says the PAC’s website and advertisement copy the campaign’s visual branding, including its designs and colors. It demands that the group take the website offline, stop distributing the ad and permanently stop using Moore’s name, image and campaign logos. The firm set an Oct. 22 deadline for the PAC to confirm it had complied, warning it could pursue further action if it did not.

Andrew Brightwell, Truth for Maryland’s chairman, said the group was disappointed to receive the letter and described it as an attempt to intimidate the PAC. He said the organization supports Moore and would continue its effort to end extreme partisan gerrymandering, declaring it would not stop its work.

The dispute puts competing claims about a ballot question and the governor’s position at the center of a political advertising fight. The letter’s allegations have not been adjudicated, and the State Board of Elections’ response was not included in the information available about the dispute.
