Bikemore is endorsing Mayor Brandon Scott for re-election.
Baltimore needs a mayor that our children can look up to, that they can see themselves in. Our recent history of former mayors is plagued with scandal and single terms. Mayor Brandon Scott has brought stability, credibility, and ethical, honest leadership to the mayor’s office. He can relate directly with our city’s young people who struggle to navigate our public transit system to get to school and after school activities. He was once them, riding those same buses hours each way.
Mayor Brandon Scott adopted the city’s first Complete Streets Manual, prioritizing equity in project delivery. His Department of Transportation has applied for and won tens of millions of dollars in federal grants to improve our most dangerous intersections, improve transit reliability, and remove racist transportation barriers that destroyed communities: including The Highway to Nowhere and Druid Park Lake Drive.
Over the past four years, legislation critical to Baltimore’s ability to compete with peer cities and deliver access to opportunity for its residents has languished in City Council, failing to be heard while time has instead been spent on political grandstanding. We endorsed Zeke Cohen for Council President because he knows we must focus on the root causes of issues in our city, and that we can use our legislative body to address those issues at their core.
With Brandon Scott as Mayor and Zeke Cohen as City Council President, we will for the first time in memory have partners in leadership with the same equity-driven transportation philosophy.
Bikemore has also endorsed the following candidates:
Bill Henry, Comptroller
Ryan Dorsey, 3rd District
Paris Gray, 8th District
John Bullock, 9th District
Zac Blanchard, 11th District
With these leaders in office, Baltimore City will continue its trajectory toward a city designed for people—all people.
