State & Local Elected Officials

Attorney General Brian Frosh is committed to serving as the people’s lawyer, by applying the law to improve lives and bringing fairness, equality and justice to all Marylanders. Prior to his current position, Attorney General Frosh served for 28 years in the Maryland General Assembly – 8 years in the House of Delegates and 20 years in the State Senate, where he was chairman of the Judicial Proceedings Committee for 12 years. As a legislator, Attorney General Frosh was a champion for making Maryland a safer place. He shepherded landmark legislation on gun safety, put in place stronger protections for victims of domestic violence and led efforts to expand the state’s DNA database to help environment and protect Maryland families from foreclosure, among others. His legislative career also included efforts to protect Maryland consumers, especially seniors and vulnerable citizens, from fraud, identity theft, and scams, which are core functions of the Office of the Attorney General.

Comptroller Peter Franchot was elected to serve as Maryland’s 33rd State Comptroller on November 7, 2006. Prior to his election to statewide office, Peter served as a Delegate from Montgomery County for 20 years. During his time in the House of Delegates, he was a member of the Appropriations Committee, and served as the Chair of its Transportation & the Environment Subcommittee.

Using this experience and expertise, Peter has pledged as Comptroller to be a strong fiscal watchdog for Maryland taxpayers and an independent voice on the Board of Public Works. Comptroller Franchot’s dedication to Maryland was recognized in 2010 and 2014 when he was overwhelmingly reelected his second and third terms.

Senator Ferguson, 31, was elected to the Maryland State Senate in 2010, then becoming the youngest ever-elected State Senator in Maryland’s history. Bill is beginning his second term as State Senator for Maryland’s 46th Legislative District. The 46th Legislative District is located entirely within Baltimore City, including neighborhoods in south Baltimore, downtown near and around the Inner Harbor, and southeast Baltimore.

Brandon M. Scott is the 52nd Mayor of Baltimore, working to end gun violence, restore the public’s trust in government and change Baltimore for the better.

Scott was unanimously elected President of the Baltimore City Council by his colleagues in May 2019. As Council President, Scott developed and released the first-ever City Council President legislative agenda, focused on building safer, stronger communities, cleaning up city government, investing in Baltimore’s young people, and centering equity. Previously, Scott served on the City Council representing Baltimore’s 2nd District. He was first elected in 2011 at the age of 27 and is one of the youngest people ever elected to the Baltimore City Council.

During his first term, Scott emerged as a leading voice in reducing violence in Baltimore and reinstated Council Oversight of the Baltimore Police Department by holding quarterly hearings. He believes that reducing violence will require a holistic, all-hands-on-deck approach, one that recognizes violence is fundamentally a public health issue. Scott led legislative initiatives that created extensive crime data sharing and online reporting of crimes by the Baltimore Police Department. In 2016, Scott introduced and passed legislation creating an open data policy in Baltimore.

In early 2018, then-Councilman Scott introduced and passed monumental legislation on equity in Baltimore. His equity assessment program law will require all city agencies to operate through a lens of equity and require all operating budgets, capital budgets and proposed legislation to be weighed through an equity lens. That legislation is in the early stages of implementation.

Mayor Scott is a rising star in politics. He was a member of the Young Elected Officials Network and served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for YEO’s America’s Cabinet. He also served as the Chair of the National League of Cities’ Large Cities Council.

Mayor Scott is a community leader, public servant and lifelong resident of Baltimore City. A proud Baltimorean, Scott is a graduate of MERVO High School and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. He lives in Baltimore’s Frankford neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore.
