At a press conference at the Conservatory, Mr. Baker will deliver remarks and announce his pick for Lieutenant Governor. In addition to Mr. Baker, the LG candidate and Baltimore community leader Sonja Merchant-Jones will deliver remarks. The event will bring together 50-60 Baltimore leaders, showing Mr. Baker’s strong support within the community and his commitment to economic development and neighborhood revitalization.
Mr. Baker has chosen a leader to serve as his Lieutenant Governor who shares his vision for building a Maryland that works for everyone and creating opportunity in every community across the state, including Baltimore City.
Mr. Baker chose the historic Baltimore landmark to make this announcement given his strong personal relationship with the late delegate and Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Howard Peters Rawlings.
