In the Democratic primary for Baltimore mayor, incumbent Brandon Scott is facing off against former mayor Sheila Dixon
The 2024 Baltimore mayor’s race includes familiar faces and corruption allegations — two common themes in the city’s long history of political scandals. In the Democratic primary on Tuesday, incumbent Brandon Scott is facing off against former Mayor Sheila Dixon, whose tenure was cut short in 2010 after she took a plea deal for misappropriating gift cards meant for poor families. Both candidates also ran in 2020, with Scott ultimately beating Dixon by a narrow margin.
” Scott strengthened an existing program that deploys violence interrupters in some of Baltimore’s most dangerous neighborhoods. He also launched the city’s Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which targets potential shooters and victims by offering them social services where possible, in lieu of law enforcement action. Dixon has expressed support of similar strategies, but she argues more should be done to address nonviolent crimes that are causing Baltimore residents to move elsewhere.
