Councilman is latest to enter Baltimore mayoral race
BALTIMORE - After one of the most politically and socially tumultuous periods in Baltimore's recent history, 2016 will see the election of a new mayor to a city still reeling and healing from protests, riots and a federal investigation into its troubled police department. With Democratic incumbent Stephanie Rawlings-Blake abandoning her re-election campaign, it's anyone's guess who the city's next mayor will be. Democratic registered voters outnumber Republicans registered to vote by about 9 to 1, so the April 26 primary is expected to decide the race.
