O’Malley Expected To Continue In A Top Role In Democratic Governors Group

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley will most likely retain a leadership post in the Democratic Governors Association when his two-year tenure as chairman ends next week, according to party sources.

O’Malley is expected to be named finance chairman at the DGA’s annual meeting in Los Angeles, the sources said. O’Malley held the position previously, and it will keep him in front of key Democratic donors as he weighs his political future.

O’Malley, whose national profile has grown considerably during his two terms as chairman, is likely to be succeeded by Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin. Shumlin hasannounced staff changes in Vermont in anticipation of his election next week by fellow Democratic governors.
