Republican mayoral candidate Tom Trott joined Bob Miller and Chris Michaels on the Morning News Express to discuss his chances of winning the Frederick City election and his plans to improve the city if elected.

The Morning News Express is your weekday wake-up call from 6–9am, led by the one and only Morning Mayor, Bob Miller. You know the voice. The laugh. The stories. The legend. It’s the reason Frederick gets up and gets informed.

Bob’s been the king of morning talk in Frederick for 30+ years, holding down the WFMD fort for 27 of them. A proud Frederick County native, his roots run deep—son of the legendary local vet Doc Miller, raised on a 180-acre beef farm, and yes, he really did show cattle across the country. (Moo included.)

His resume is impressive, his humor even better. Senior class president and class clown at Walkersville High (Class of 1980), Bob also helped launch the school’s first-ever football team—the gritty “Mean 19.”

Off the mic, Bob’s a proud husband to Lynda (30+ years strong), a dad to Erin and Bryan, and a super-proud granddad to little Kaelyn.

Bob’s known radio was his calling forever, with stops at major stations in Baltimore and D.C. But Frederick is home, and every morning he brings his voice, wit, and community-first perspective to Free Talk 930 WFMD. He’s joined by great local guests all week to cover what’s happening in and around Frederick County, plus national reporters from Fox News Radio to break down what’s happening across the country.

As Bob’s mom says: “At least now I can finally turn him off.”

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller was joined by Brian Albert, Sheriff of Washington County, Maryland, for a fascinating conversation covering some major public safety topics.

Sheriff Albert reflected on what it was like during the terrifying days when the D.C. sniper was on the loose and how the suspects were ultimately located in Myersville. He also discussed the work being done by the county’s human trafficking task force, explaining how agencies coordinate to investigate and combat these crimes. The conversation also touched on how law enforcement handles arrests during protests and demonstrations.

And in a memorable moment, the interview was interrupted by a special call from a local Frederick hero, adding an unexpected and heartfelt twist to the discussion.
