Nick Mosby is running for re-election as president of the Baltimore City Council. Mosby has held the position for the last four years. Prior to his term as council president, he served local residents in a variety of roles, including a representative for District 40 in the Maryland House of Delegates and a representative of District 7 on the Baltimore City Council.
Mosby has previously fought for financial aid for GED recipients and fair hiring laws for formerly incarcerated citizens. A graduate of Tuskegee University, Mosby has also prioritized the promotion and strengthening of Maryland’s Historically Black colleges and universities by creating a tax credit to increase their endowments. His lengthy resume of community oriented initiatives shows Mosby’s ability to continue his work on the Baltimore City Council.
Through a series of challenges including several months of unpaid utility bills and lying to the media about paying a $40,000 tax lien, Mosby has been able to maintain his integrity as a city leader.
Although Mosby has been accepting donations from large corporations, unions and PACS, his opponent Shannon Sneed is using public funding to finance her education focused city council presidential campaign.
Even in the face of adversity, Mosby has shown his ability to work with others in Baltimore’s political atmosphere. In November of 2023 Mosby found himself at odds with Mayor Brandon Scott after Scott vetoed a bill Mosby created in regards to the city’s new district lines.
For these reasons, the AFRO endorses Nick Mosby for re-election as Baltimore City Council president.
