"He listens, he hears, and he acts. I can’t imagine a stronger resume or a more balanced and grounded attitude for executive leadership than what Jared offers.
Today, I join many Annapolitans in endorsing Jared Littmann to be the next Mayor of the City of Annapolis.

In all of them, he listens, he hears, and he acts. I can’t imagine a stronger resume or a more balanced and grounded attitude for executive leadership than what Jared offers. Annapolis residents would be well served by Jared as Mayor." - Steuart Pittman, County Executive
