Dixon is the latest to declare the intent to unseat Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young. She made the announcement during a community event to gather winter clothing for families in need. Young automatically became mayor when Catherine Pugh resigned from that job in May amid investigations into the lucrative sales of her self-published children’s books. She resigned as mayor and was on probation for four years. Others vying for the mayor’s office are Baltimore City Council President Brandon Scott and former Baltimore Police Department spokesman T.J. Smith.
