BALTIMORE (AP) — City Council President Brandon Scott, who ran a campaign focused on youthful energy, progressive ideas and experience, has won the Democratic nomination for Baltimore mayor.
The victory puts Scott in a strong position to be the next mayor of the struggling city.
Scott has been a city councilman since 2011 and became council president last year.
Baltimore will only move forward as a city united, not divided,” Scott said in a statement Tuesday.
Positioning himself as a progressive leader, Scott proposed organizational changes to city government, including an overhaul of the board that awards all city contracts.
