Sheila Dixon Declares Candidacy for Baltimore Mayor in 2024 Rematch

Sheila Dixon, the former mayor of Baltimore who resigned in 2010 following a conviction of embezzlement, has announced her candidacy for mayor, setting up a rematch with incumbent Mayor Brandon Scott. Dixon, who held office for over 20 years before her resignation, will aim to reintroduce herself to voters and overcome the negative perception of her criminal record. The race is expected to be determined by whether it becomes a head-to-head contest between Dixon and Scott or if another candidate can chip away at their vote share. Dixon is likely to benefit from financial support from a super PAC, while Scott currently has a significant campaign fund.

Richard Worley nominated to replace Baltimore Police Commissioner Harrison.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison has stepped down from his position, and Mayor Brandon Scott has nominated Richard Worley, a 25-year veteran of the department, to replace him. Worley will serve as acting commissioner immediately and is also Scott's nominee for the permanent post. Harrison, who has served as the city's police commissioner since 2019, said he has no job offers and has not interviewed for any other positions. The move comes after Harrison denied leaving for a chief position in nearby Washington, D.C., during a Baltimore City Council hearing.
