www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power/local-government/brandon-scott-campaign-ads-VPFZOLUQEZA4FFNUWKACHND7AY/Mayor Brandon Scott’s campaign will air its first TV and radio ads this week, selling him, as one grandmother declares, as “the kind of young man we can all be proud of.” The four new ads mark a continued strategy by the campaign to tout Scott’s accomplishments and allude to the corruption scandal of former mayor Sheila Dixon, his chief Democratic primary opponent, without naming her. The ads were originally slated to start appearing on TV and radio last Tuesday, the day after Scott delivered the final State of the City address of this term. His campaign delayed the ads after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River early that morning when a cargo ship leaving the Port of Baltimore struck it. Two TV commercials, one radio ad and one digital ad pitch the same set of accomplishments and persona: an effective official who has opened new rec centers and schools, implemented a successful program to get squeegee youth workers off of busy intersections, and overseen a 20% reduction in homicides year over year. The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one. The ads do not mention the Key Bridge collapse, which has caused a surge of national press coverage for the mayor. Scott, a first-term mayor, narrowly beat Dixon in the 2020 primary. He also once again faces attorney Thiru Vignarajah in the mayoral primary, as well as Bob Wallace, a businessman who ran as an independent candidate that cycle. The primary election is May 14. READ MORE Pro-Dixon super PAC fueled by David Smith starts targeting Scott in mayor’s race Mar 7, 2024 A second super PAC enters Baltimore’s mayoral race Mar 22, 2024 Scott holds cash advantage over Dixon in mayor’s race; super PAC adds $200K Jan 18, 2024 “I’ll be honest, I had my doubts about Brandon Scott,” begins a 60-second radio ad, narrated by an older woman who identifies herself as a grandmother. “New, young mayor, but some of the same old promises we’ve heard before.” The narrator then delves into the laundry list of Scott’s accomplishments, before concluding the results were delivered “the right way — no scandal and no corruption.” Dixon resigned from the mayor’s office in 2010, as part of a plea deal with prosecutors that ended a years-long corruption investigation. This cycle marks her third run for mayor since leaving office. Dixon has maintained a hearty base: in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries, she came in second by just a few points. The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one. One 30-second TV ad for Scott features two youth advocates who boost the mayor as an uncompromised official moving the city “in the right direction,” a claim the mayor echoes in a second TV ad, in which he pledges to keep “moving Baltimore forward, not backwards.” The same ad centers on the importance of promoting the city’s youth. “It’s why we’ve renovated and opened rec centers, not closed them,” Scott said, a dig at prior mayors. Dixon cut some funding for rec centers in 2009, following budget concerns tied to the Great Recession. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who succeeded Dixon, closed down or privatized several rec centers. Dixon’s campaign has not yet aired television or radio ads. A super PAC that by law must operate independently from her campaign this month began airing attack ads against Scott, which do not mention Dixon. “Nice guy, bad mayor,” declare the ads, which portray Scott as a bumbling official in over his head. The PAC is funded largely by David Smith, chairman of Sinclair Inc. and new co-owner of The Baltimore Sun, and real estate developer John “Jack” Luetkemeyer Jr., who have donated a combined $500,000. A new super PAC supporting Scott’s campaign was registered by aides to Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman and state Sen. Cory McCray, two political allies of the mayor’s. It has not reported any fundraising or spending.

I really hope that he can capitalize on the national attention and keep Dixon out. He has not blown me away with leadership but crime in down and he has not been embroiled in ethics scandals

I think he's done a good job, and he cares about the city, something I remember thinking of him from the Freddy Gray days when he was just getting started. Hope he wins.

Hate to say it but the bridge collapse will probably get him reelected. I may even vote for him.

If I was still in the city I probably wouldn't vote for him. Under him nothing was really done about the squeegie boys until someone got murdered. Not to mention crime although the murder rate had a nice job last year. Perception of the city, fair or not, has gotten more negative over the past few years.
Now if the only other choice was Dixon, I'd probably vote for him.

I saw some Dixon signs this weekend in people's yards.
I think Scott should focus on the drop in homicides and no scandals/corruption.

That's where I am. I was hoping Bob Wallace would actually try and win. What’s he even in the race for??

www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power/local-government/poll-brandon-scott-leads-sheila-dixon-in-baltimore-mayors-race-G3I7VHUJBZFDNDJIUDDLN4LZS4/Mayor Brandon Scott has gained significant ground with voters over the last several months in Baltimore’s competitive Democratic mayoral primary race, according to a new survey from Goucher College Poll and The Baltimore Banner. The race is closely contested between Scott and former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon among likely Democratic voters, the poll found. But Scott’s support has surged in recent months. About 40% of likely Democratic voters polled said they would reelect Scott for a second term as mayor, while 32% said they would support former Mayor Sheila Dixon, who finished second four years ago in a crowded Democratic contest. Former deputy attorney general of Maryland Thiru Vignarajah had 11% support, and 3% said they would support businessman and entrepreneur Bob Wallace, who ran as an independent in 2020. That’s a 13 percentage point gain in Scott’s support since a September Goucher-Banner poll of the mayor’s race. In that poll, 39% of Democratic voters polled said they supported Dixon while 27% said they supported Scott.

I know in politics just about everything is relative, but is it not a sad commentary when our politicians run for office under the banner of "vote for me, I'm not corrupt"?

I live just outside of Baltimore City so I can't vote on it but I think Scott or Dixon would be fine in the context of everything else that has gone on in Baltimore City. I'm just glad the city was able to part ways with Pugh and Mosby.

I finally saw one of these ads and found it bland an unmotivating, much like Scott's tenure as Mayor. But Dixon is a worse choice versus almost anyone else, being a thief. I would think at this point Moore benefits from the Key Bridge response-to-collapse more than does Scott. Moore has demonstrated better leadership and the problem is really his, not Scott's. Sure, the City hosts the Port and that's an economic engine... but Scott can't do much to help it without the state government.

Disasters (recently, a tornado) happen in red states. When they do the politicians from them rubbish their supposed fiscal conservatism and demand Federal help. Two standards is nothing new to conservatives.

I'll give Moore his props. In this case he looks like a stand up guy. I don't live in the city. I don't go into the city. No one I care about lives in or goes into the city so Scott or Dixon, has no effect on me. But all things considered (I threw that in for you NPR fans) I'd rather not see Sheila "The Shoe" Dixon win because she stole from little children.

The families of the deceased victims of the accident are being assisted. Employees of not-yet-reopened distribution ports are being assisted. Businesses are being assisted. The bridge is being clean up. The Stated of Maryland (including Republicans) has already sent demand legislation to the Feds for money to replace the bridge. The bridge will be rebuilt. You are being ridiculous.

Not for a second. Do I think that the Greenes, Gatzs, etc. won't stop complaining or going so far as to slow down any support of a new bridge. In a NY second. It has already been reported. You are missing the point. www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-democrats-blocking-disaster-relief-billSenate Democrats yesterday blocked a bill that provides much-needed funds for Puerto Rico’s nutrition program, also aid for the 2018 hurricane and wildfires, and thirdly assistance to Midwest states in the midst of a flood crisis. That includes at least Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, maybe other states. Now, the people that voted against it say it was because they care about Puerto Rico. But the bill they blocked takes care of the urgent funding shortfalls there in that commonwealth. Playing politics with disaster aid does a disservice to the people of Puerto Rico and the people of states like Iowa that are suffering right now from these floods. Why would these senators want to come to campaign in Iowa when they don’t show sympathy for Iowans suffering from the floods with the vote that they cast last night? 2019 rollcall.com/2019/04/01/2020-democrats-reject-gop-call-to-back-iowa-disaster-aid/2020 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott spoke on the Senate floor to request unanimous consent to schedule a vote on his bill, the Federal Disaster Responsibility Act. This bill would fully fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) to ensure the federal government could quickly and comprehensively respond to natural disasters, and deliver urgently needed disaster aid to America’s growers and ranchers. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, blocked Senator Scott’s request, denying the Senate an opportunity to vote on and pass this bill. Following Senator Whitehouse’s objection, which denies disaster aid for millions of Americans, Senator Scott released the below statement. Senator Rick Scott said, “Communities in every state are dependent on disaster aid from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, which is now nearly exhausted and will have just $550 million available at the end of this month. When I spoke to President Biden earlier this month, I told him this is UNACCEPTABLE and especially devastating for families and farmers in Florida, California, Illinois, Vermont and Hawaii who are fighting tooth and nail right now to recover from major disasters. In Florida, our growers and ranchers have been waiting for nearly a year since Ian devastated so many of them and this delay is Senate Democrats kicking them while they’re down. This shouldn’t be a political issue, but Democrats are treating it that way to try and force disaster aid to be part of their massive spending package. It is beyond shameful for Senate Democrats to hold disaster aid hostage, and I won’t stop fighting to get this bill passed and relief to our families and growers working hard to get back on their feet.” Senator Scott’s Federal Disaster Responsibility Act includes: Fully funding the immediate needs of FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund with at least $16.5 billion to ensure the federal government can uphold its obligation to quickly deploy emergency funding and resources to communities and Americans impacted by natural disasters. This exceeds what the Biden administration has said is needed to respond to recent disasters, including those in Florida and Hawaii. Ensuring final passage of the bipartisan Block Grant Assistance Act which provides needed authority for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to issue block grants to Florida’s citrus growers, Georgia’s peach growers and all U.S. agriculture producers devastated by natural disasters in 2022. Committing necessary funds and resources to Florida’s military installations to fully rebuild and recover from hurricane damage and to the Army Corps of Engineers to complete beach renourishment projects. www.rickscott.senate.gov/2023/9/video-release-senate-democrats-block-sen-rick-scott-s-disaster-relief-bill2023 You have to know that this is all just political theater. Especially in an election year.

This should help Scott get the votes. Aside from his comment about "whites", some of the awards he presented are not even registered with the State - which ARPA funding requires. Hasn't there already been issues with recipients of the Baltimore ARPA money? His comments are cleaned up in this announcement. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MDBALT/bulletins/396d58b

I think people are starting to coalesce around Scott just to keep Sheila out. He’s still an idiot (see summer23’s YouTube link above for the latest evidence). At least he’s not a thief. This election cycle really is the worst of the worst choices. I actually do really like Biden though. I’m just afraid he won’t live out a 2nd term. Smh.

He does, but he's basically become a professional campaigner at this point. Feels like he's running in every election for either SA or mayor.
Sadly Bob Wallace will probably be 4th.

When your ads have to tout a lack of corruption that says something unkind about your accomplishments or the political framework for which you are contending, or (probably) both.
