KATE AMARA IS OUTSIDE CITY HALL WITH MORE. 11 NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT THE SUPER PAC SUPPORTING SHEILA DIXON IN THIS DEMOCRATIC MAYORAL PRIMARY JUST MADE ANOTHER BIG AD BUY FOUR YEARS OF BACKWARDS MOTION EXTENDING THE ADS RUN ON BROADCAST AND CABLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK, AND ANOTHER $160,000 SHEILA DIXON. HOWEVER, DISTANCING HERSELF FROM THAT ENTITY TODAY AS SHE REACHED OUT TO VOTERS MAKING CALLS AND KNOCKING ON DOORS. WE’RE DOING PHONE BANKING. WE’RE KNOCKING ON DOORS. IT’S A BUSY TUESDAY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR SOME OF THE CANDIDATES RUNNING IN BALTIMORE’S DEMOCRATIC MAYORAL PRIMARY. WE ARE OUTLINING TODAY FIVE MAJOR ANCHORS, INCLUDING THIRU VIGNARAJAH. HE CALLED A PRESS CONFERENCE IN PIGTOWN TO TALK ABOUT HIS HOUSING STRATEGY AND TO DRIVE HOME HIS MESSAGE OF THE DAY. IF YOU WANT CHANGE, VOTE FOR ME. WE HEAR THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION AND THE FORMER MAYOR TALK ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER, THAT THINGS GOT BETTER ON THEIR WATCH. IT’S NOT TRUE. FORMER MAYOR SHEILA DIXON AND HER TEAM TELL 11 NEWS THEY WORKED THE PHONES ALL AFTERNOON. THEY CALLED VOLUNTEERS AND VOTERS. DIXON ALSO COCO CALLING OUT THOSE INVOLVED IN A GROWING CONTROVERSY OVER COMMUNICATIONS ALLEGEDLY SENT BY A CITY FIRE UNION OFFICIAL BEFORE THE UNION ENDORSEMENT OF THE INCUMBENT MAYOR, BRANDON SCOTT. IT HAPPENED MONDAY. I DON’T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A WAY TO TRY TO GO NEGATIVE, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DISRESPECTFUL TO ME AS A PERSON. VIGNARAJAH CHALKED IT UP TO MORE OF THE SAME. THIS IS WHAT SHEILA AND BRANDON DO. THEY SNIPE AT ONE ANOTHER. THEY TALK ABOUT POLITICAL ENDORSEMENTS WHEN THE REAL ISSUE IS, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE THIS CITY FORWARD? THESE KIND OF ATTACKS? AS A THE FIRST WOMAN MAYOR AND FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN, CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT NEW. I’VE GOTTEN ATTACKS LIKE THIS BEFORE. OUR ATTEMPTS TO ASK MAYOR SCOTT ABOUT ALL OF THIS IN PERSON DID NOT PAN OUT HIS AFTERNOON ENDORSEMENT EVENT WITH CITY FAITH LEADERS WAS SCRUBBED AT THE LAST MINUTE BY THE CAMPAIGN. THE FIRE UNION PRESIDENT PUT OUT HIS RESPONSE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. A POSTING ON X THAT BEGINS, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY CHOICE OF WORDS REGARDING FORMER MAYOR SHEILA DIXON AT CITY HALL TONIGHT. I’M KATE AMARA WBAL, TV 11 NEWS. WELL, MAYOR SCOTT DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT, BUT HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER DID EMAIL A STATEMENT HERE TO 11 NEWS WHICH READS, QUOTE, THE LANGUAGE USED IS ABSOLUTELY NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF MAYOR SCOTT’S VIEWS AND OPINIONS. THE MAYOR HAS SPOKEN WITH HIM, AND PRESIDENT FANON HAS SINCE APOLOGIZED. ALL RIGHT. AND OUR VOTER’S GUIDE IS NOW READY. SEE HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE, WHERE TO VOTE, AND HOW. MARYLAND IS SECURING YOUR VOTE. IT’S ALL ON THE WBA
