Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott Wins Re-Election

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has been re-elected for a second term, winning over 82% of the vote against Republican Shannon Wright. His re-election is seen as a victory for gun safety advocacy, with support from organizations like Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, who praised his efforts in reducing gun violence in the city. The race for Baltimore City Council President was won by Democrat Zeke Cohen, who garnered more than 88% of the vote against Emmanuel Digman. Scott’s leadership has been marked by a focus on community intervention and gun violence prevention.
