Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott doubled his campaign war chest this month, campaign finance records show, marking an unofficial kickoff to the city’s mayoral race.
Scott’s report, filed Wednesday, showed the first-term Democratic mayor with more than $450,000 on hand as of Jan. 11. The mayor raked in $248,450 during the most recent reporting period, which began Nov. 16.
Counted among Scott’s top donors were city developers, contractors and law firms, including Gallagher Evelius & Jones LLP, which gave a maximum $6,000 donation, in addition to $2,500 from attorney Thomas Dame, a managing partner with the firm.
