Brandon Scott Make Baltimore Great Again

Endorsements

Organizations

"It's time Baltimore had a visionary leader who lives and breathes the city, and knows it like the back of his hand; someone who will work tirelessly to improve it and who isn't afraid to upset the apple cart if it's for the greater good. That's why we endorse Brandon Scott to be the next mayor of Baltimore."

— The Baltimore Sun Editorial Board

"As frontline healthcare workers, we are proud to endorse candidates who will fight for a healthy and equitable Baltimore City.  With Brandon Scott we can start to build a Baltimore where everyone can enjoy high-quality healthcare, great public schools, decent housing in safe communities, and good union jobs."

— Lisa Brown, Executive Vice President of the Maryland/DC Division of 1199SEIU

"UFCW's members work in a range of industries, with the majority working in retail food, meatpacking and poultry, food processing and manufacturing, and retail stores — and most are considered essential during this COVID-19 public health crisis. Throughout this crisis—and time and time again—Brandon has supported our members. He stood by us during our most recent negotiations and he truly understands the needs of our members."

— Jessica Hack, Political & Legislative Director of UFCW Local 27.

"We believe, now more than ever, Baltimore needs a forward-thinking mayor who understands the severity and urgency of building healthy environments and just communities."

—Rich Norling, Sierra Club Maryland Chapter

"Brandon has articulated a thoughtful and strong plan to take on Baltimore's public corruption and crime issues. His strategy leverages the city's capital investment power to create meaningful employment for communities where it's most needed by using agreements that ensure local residents get hired, trained, and paid working on major infrastructure projects."

State Officials

"I am supporting Brandon Scott because of the work he has done with police redistricting and accountability, along with the work he constantly does with our youth in Baltimore City Schools. He has my full support in charting a path for A New Way Forward for Baltimore City. I know that Brandon will be innovative, creative, and he will put the talent around him to ensure our city is successful."

— Senator Cory McCray

"He is a son of Baltimore.  He is passionate, forward looking, and has an aggressive agenda to make Baltimore a great City.  I believe he will surround himself with talented people and reach out to others who are now seeking the Mayor's office to harness their talents, too. Isn't this just what we need? We have had a series of terrible ethical and criminal missteps among City leaders. We deserve better, and Brandon Scott is a good and honorable man."

— Delegate Maggie McIntosh

"Making real change and creating economic and housing opportunity in Baltimore will take a leader with a track record of rolling up his sleeves and getting things done, while never settling for the way things are just because that's how things have been done. Brandon Scott has consistently shown he can bring people together, speak to all of Baltimore, and deliver results that have impact."

— Delegate Sandy Rosenberg

Local Officials

— Charly Carter, Community Organizer

"Since I first met Brandon when he was in my class as a freshman at MERVO, I knew he was destined for great things. He represents the best of what Baltimore is and can be. His integrity, energy, and passion to make Baltimore better for generations to come make him exactly the leader Baltimore needs."
