Jack Young is the current mayor of Baltimore.
He took office on May 2, 2019 upon the resignation of Catherine Pugh.
Prior to Pugh's official resignation, Young was the president of the Baltimore City Council and had been the acting mayor since April 2.

Catherine Pugh became the Democratic nominee for mayor in 2016 and won the mayoral election in 2016 with 57.1% of the vote; Pugh took office as mayor on December 6, 2016.
Pugh took a leave of absence in April 2019 due to health concerns, then officially resigned from office on May 2.
The resignation coincided with a scandal over a "self-dealing" book-sales arrangement.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake assumed the office of Mayor on February 4, 2010, when predecessor Dixon's resignation became effective.
Rawlings-Blake had been serving as City Council President at the time.
She was elected to a full term in 2011, defeating Pugh in the primary election and receiving 84% of the vote.

Sheila Dixon became the first female mayor of Baltimore on January 17, 2007.
As the former City Council President, she assumed the office of Mayor when former Mayor Martin O'Malley took office as Governor of Maryland.
On November 6, 2007, Dixon won the Baltimore mayoral election.
Mayor Dixon's administration ended less than three years after her election, the result of a criminal investigation that began in 2006 while she was still City Council President.
She was convicted on a single misdemeanor charge of embezzlement on December 1, 2009.
A month later, Dixon made an Alford plea to a perjury charge and agreed to resign from office; Maryland, like most states, does not allow convicted felons to hold office.
