Baltimore, MD – Aug. 13, 2023 – The 2024 race for mayor in Baltimore is expected to heat up soon, with political analyst John Dedie anticipating final decisions in September, according to FOX45. City Councilman Eric Costello and Comptroller Bill Henry have announced their plans for reelection rather than running for mayor. The democratic race may see a rematch between former mayor Sheila Dixon and current mayor Brandon Scott. Dixon’s previous ethical issues and a misdemeanor embezzlement charge continue to be a concern for some, but she is still considered a serious contender. Scott, with funds and a lowering crime rate on his side, remains the likely frontrunner. Dedie also mentions crime, education, and vacant housing as top issues for the upcoming election.
