Committee Members, Including Young People, Tasked with Developing Actionable Recommendations for the Mayor-Elect’s First Term BALTIMORE, MD (Tuesday, December 1, 2020) — Mayor-Elect Brandon M. Scott has selected the people who will serve on his transition team and craft actionable recommendations for his first term in office today. A full list is available at the bottom of this release. “I have asked this group to serve because of their leadership, creativity and willingness to break down silos and work together in service of the greater good,” said Mayor-Elect Brandon Scott. “I have confidence in this team and look forward to working closely with them in the coming months as we build a new way forward for Baltimore.” The volunteer members will work closely with the transition committee co-chairs and steering committee members to interview stakeholders, determine priorities across each of the ten committees, and recommend short- and long-term actions to guide the Scott administration over the next four years. The Mayor-Elect continued, “Baltimore residents do not want the status quo or a continuation of the failed policies of the past. My transition team as a whole will have to consider how we build a better city while navigating the devastating public health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, something that layers on Baltimore’s existing inequities and unrelenting violence epidemic.”
Committees are tasked with developing an informed, visionary and actionable list of recommendations for the Mayor-elect’s first term in office by early February 2021. As they craft recommendations, each committee is asked to prioritize public safety, equity, building public trust, Baltimore’s young people, responsible stewardship of City dollars, and the COVID-19 recovery. Each committee includes at least one young person under the age of 24. Committees are staffed by graduate assistants enrolled at Morgan State University and supported in research and data analysis by Johns Hopkins Centers for Civic Impact. Scott’s agenda includes restoring trust in city government, building public safety and implementing a comprehensive strategy to end gun violence, and making Baltimore a more equitable city. Over the campaign, he published policy plans on good government, public safety, inclusive economic development, and Baltimore's recovery from COVID-19.
