Better Schools, Safer Streets, Stronger Neighborhoods
Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has set a thoughtful and ambitious agenda for the City Council, promoting legislative and policy initiatives that improve people's lives: safe streets, quality public schools, and neighborhoods that are strong, vibrant and engaged. Her father, the late Delegate Howard “Pete” Rawlings taught her the value and sacred trust of public service, impressing upon her that with great power comes great responsibility. As City Council President she has worked to make Baltimore’s government work for its citizens, making the legislative process more open and accessible to all city residents.
In four terms on the City Council, Rawlings-Blake’s many accomplishments include passing laws and initiating policies in a wide range of areas such as public safety, community development, public education, business development, hospitality and tourism and arts and entertainment.
