The vice president of East Baltimore Development Inc. says the mayor and his campaign treasurer fired him for supporting Sheila Dixon; emails reveal the inner workings of an organization charged with rebuilding a large swath of East Baltimore.

Familiar names turn up in the latest campaign finance reports of Brandon Scott and Sheila Dixon.

Paris Gray declares victory over Bilal Ali for the open 8th District seat, while Jermaine Jones holds a strong lead over 12th District Councilman Robert Stokes Sr.

After this her third attempt at a comeback, the former mayor says she won’t be trying again but vows to “never stop working to serve the city I love.”

Fox45 and Baltimore Sun owner David Smith and his nephew Alex Smith spent big on failed mayoral candidate Sheila Dixon. Their candidates down-ballot also fared poorly.

A surprise in the 11th District where an ex-Marine engineered a serious assault on the fiefdom of incumbent Councilman Eric Costello.

“We overcame the odds, including a Trump-loving super PAC,” Scott told supporters, while Angela Alsobrooks declared victory over deep-pocketed David Trone in her race for a U.S. Senate seat. UPDATED.

Plenty of placards and a scarcity of voters mark a rainy primary day in Baltimore.

Voters can weigh in on a mayoral rematch, their City Council representative and a contest that could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate in 2025.

The City Council president’s leading benefactor turns out to be a Columbia, Md., businessman whose attempt to open a residential drug treatment center in northeast Baltimore stirred strong community opposition. UPDATED

His surprise decision, first reported by The Brew, will likely boost Sheila Dixon’s prospects in a close race with incumbent Brandon Scott.

So far, there’s been no citations, fines or other consequences for Baltimore’s ex-mayor who is running for her former office in the May 14 primary.

At the Sunday Farmers’ Market, people sounded off about the current mayor, a former one and the state of the city heading into the May 14 primary.

The former deputy attorney general will use public financing to underwrite his late entry into the race.

Dixon says she was unaware that the media mogul was bankrolling a political action committee set up to benefit her mayoral campaign. “I have to call my finance person and ask about it.”

Beyond right-wing ideology, the chance to be a political kingmaker drives David Smith, according to sources, who say Sheila Dixon agreed to his checklist of positions to gain his support.

“Now is not the time to move back toward leadership that has failed us,” the incumbent mayor says, asking for another term to build on his accomplishments.

Scott cites Mosby’s unwillingness to compromise. The revival of the mayor’s map will be of little consequence to most voters.

The scene as the former Baltimore mayor seeks financial support for her latest bid to return to City Hall.

“The wins are just starting to come in,” Baltimore’s incumbent mayor tells fellow Democratic officeholders and other supporters.

The mayor and Council president are butting heads on how redistricting should be carried out, while a former councilman calls out a rumored ploy to knock out a candidate in the First District.

Scheduled for the same day and the same time. It’s just a coincidence, says Dixon camp.
