“It’s time Baltimore had a visionary leader who lives and breathes the city, and knows it like the back of his hand; someone who will work tirelessly to improve it and who isn’t afraid to upset the apple cart if it’s for the greater good. That’s why we endorse Brandon Scott to be the next mayor of Baltimore.”

“I am supporting Brandon Scott because of the work he has done with police redistricting and accountability, along with the work he constantly does with our youth in Baltimore City Schools.

“He is a son of Baltimore.  He is passionate, forward looking, and has an aggressive agenda to make Baltimore a great City.  I believe he will surround himself with talented people and reach out to others who are now seeking the Mayor’s office to harness their talents, too. Isn’t this just what we need? We have had a series of terrible ethical and criminal missteps among City leaders. We deserve better, and Brandon Scott is a good and honorable man."

 

— Delegate Maggie McIntosh

“Making real change and creating economic and housing opportunity in Baltimore will take a leader with a track record of rolling up his sleeves and getting things done, while never settling for the way things are just because that’s how things have been done. Brandon Scott has consistently shown he can bring people together, speak to all of Baltimore, and deliver results that have impact."
