The Capital Gazette - At swearing-in, Mayor Littmann pledges to make ‘Annapolis work’

Jared Littmann was sworn in as the next mayor of Annapolis in a ceremony Monday, where the Democrat hammered home his governing focus: making sure Annapolis works for everyone.

“Let us begin this new chapter of a shared government for the city we all love, a future that we build together, because when we work together, Annapolis works,” Littmann said during his inaugural address in a tent at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

He was voted in to lead the city for the next four years alongside an all-Democratic City Council, the second consecutive four years in Annapolis when the mayor and all aldermen are Democrats. Littmann had 73% of votes against Republican candidate Robert O’Shea.

Littmann served as a Ward 5 alderman from 2013 through 2017. He is a co-owner of K&B Ace Hardware in Annapolis, formerly called K&B True Value. He is a former board chair of the True Value Co. The inauguration will lead to at least a $10,000 donation to the Anne Arundel County Food Bank, Littmann said, through reception tickets and private sponsors.
