Modern Baltimore history generally starts with the election of Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. in 1947. D’Alesandro Jr is almost universally considered the greatest mayor in Baltimore history. He had strong political connections and often used “dirt” that he had on his rivals to advance his career and to make sure that federal appropriations were given to B...
J. Harold Grady was a relatively forgettable mayor bordering on bad. He ran specifically against the Jack Pollack and the D’Alesandro political machine. He notably did not get along with City Council president Philip H. Goodman and city comptroller R. Walter Graham Jr. The city was also dealing with the aftermath of a construction boom during an er...

He also thought that Schmoke was a failure when it came to crime. The anti-crime policies that O’Malley implemented during his tenure were based upon groundwork policies that ...
When Dixon resigned, Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took over. The financial collapse left the city in tatters. Decades of de-industrialization reduced city job opportunities and decreased the amount of tax-paying residents. The grim economic hopes, combined with a city pension crisis, led to an explosion of the cities debt; Baltimore w...
In 2016, Baltimore decided to break from the candidates that the city council produced, and elected state senate Majority Leader Catherine Pugh to office. The goal was to get someone with some sway in Annapolis that would aid the city’s stagnant economic growth. Pugh was initially successful in her efforts to grow Baltimore’s economy, but her tenur...
