After a period of eager anticipation, Baltimore City Mayor Brandon M. Scott (D) emerges triumphant as the projected winner of the city’s mayoral race.
Addressing a jubilant crowd of supporters at his watch party in South Baltimore on May 14, Scott emphasized that this victory marks just the beginning of the journey. “Winning is not merely a triumph, but a call to action to push further, strive for excellence, and do more for Baltimore,” he declared. “Tonight’s results affirm Baltimore’s commitment to progress and moving forward.”
According to the Maryland State Board of Elections (MSBE), all precincts in Baltimore City had reported by 1 a.m. on May 15, signaling the near-completion of vote counting. However, provisional ballot votes still await tabulation.
As of 5 a.m. on May 15, Scott secured 50.96 percent of the votes, while former Mayor Sheila Dixon trailed with 41.29 percent, and Businessman Bob Wallace garnered 3.15 percent.
