Democrat Brandon Scott, just elected Baltimore’s next and youngest-ever mayor, was back at work before the city’s spending board the morning after his victory.
Outgoing Mayor Jack Young offered him congratulations on the win.
Scott tells WJZ he has no time to celebrate.
“There is no DPW director. There is no housing commissioner. There is no equity and civil rights director. There is no city administrator. All of these positions will have to be hired and we will be assessing everything else moving forward. Change is coming to Baltimore in many shapes and forms,” Scott told WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren Wednesday. “Baltimore needs a shakeup. We could not continue with the status quo. Citizens voted for change, and they are going to get it.“
Scott already named a nine-person transition team that includes former Raven Torrey Smith and author Wes Moore. You can read more about them here.
