Sam Cogen, who is challenging longtime incumbent Baltimore City Sheriff John Anderson, received several endorsements from elected officials.
A majority of Baltimore City Council members and Comptroller Bill Henry endorsed sheriff candidate Sam Cogen Wednesday, upping the ante in the first serious challenge three-decade incumbent John Anderson has faced in years.
Baltimore leaders on Monday encouraged residents, particularly young adults, to vote. They also called for election judges amid a shortage.
The Baltimore City Council approved a $4 billion spending plan Thursday, leaving Mayor Brandon Scott’s budget proposal largely intact despite intense questioning by the council in some areas and threats to delay its passage.
Baltimore Sheriff John Anderson sparred Tuesday with the City Council over how his office handles evictions. A 2001 Maryland attorney general opinion he asked for says notices are to be placed on the property being repossessed, specifically the individual apartment. But he insisted his staff is not bound by that opinion, and instead places notices on shared or exterior doors to apartment buildings when deputies find the doors locked.
