Embracing the hot button issue of bike lanes and funded primarily by donors from outside the district, newcomer Margo Bruner-Settles challenges incumbent Ryan Dorsey.

“Friends of Nick Mosby” reported more than $21,000 in contributions when, apparently, only $1,700 was actually transmitted.

EXCLUSIVE: In a letter sent to his campaign committee, Baltimore’s second highest elected official is told to fix an array of inaccuracies in his finance reports.

UPDATE: BGE says the contribution recorded in Mosby’s latest financial report is inaccurate; only $450 was given by the utility.

At the Sunday Farmers’ Market, people sounded off about the current mayor, a former one and the state of the city heading into the May 14 primary.

The former deputy attorney general will use public financing to underwrite his late entry into the race.

Dixon says she was unaware that the media mogul was bankrolling a political action committee set up to benefit her mayoral campaign. “I have to call my finance person and ask about it.”

Beyond right-wing ideology, the chance to be a political kingmaker drives David Smith, according to sources, who say Sheila Dixon agreed to his checklist of positions to gain his support.

“Now is not the time to move back toward leadership that has failed us,” the incumbent mayor says, asking for another term to build on his accomplishments.

Scott cites Mosby’s unwillingness to compromise. The revival of the mayor’s map will be of little consequence to most voters.

The scene as the former Baltimore mayor seeks financial support for her latest bid to return to City Hall.

“The wins are just starting to come in,” Baltimore’s incumbent mayor tells fellow Democratic officeholders and other supporters.

The mayor and Council president are butting heads on how redistricting should be carried out, while a former councilman calls out a rumored ploy to knock out a candidate in the First District.

Scheduled for the same day and the same time. It’s just a coincidence, says Dixon camp.
