Brandon Scott wins Democratic nomination in Baltimore mayoral race, Sheila Dixon not conceding
BALTIMORE – Brandon Scott won the Democratic primary nomination for Baltimore mayor in a rematch against former mayor Sheila Dixon, the Associated Press called Tuesday night.
Scott, the incumbent, and his challenger Sheila Dixon addressed the crowd with about 14,000 mail-in ballots still to be counted, which won't be until Thursday.
As of late Tuesday night, Scott held a 5,000 vote lead over Dixon with over 70% of precincts reporting when the AP called the race.
"There may be some votes to be counted, but it is safe to say, we are destined for a second term," Scott said. "Baltimore, you said very clearly that your democracy is not for sale no matter how rich they are. you have confirmed once again that the naysayers that underestimate our city will never understand what truly makes Baltimore great."
