With less than a week before the Annapolis primary election, Democratic mayoral candidates Rhonda Pindell Charles and Jared Littmann presented their cases during a debate Wednesday on why they should be the next mayor of Annapolis.
The winner in Tuesday’s primary election will face Republican Bob O’Shea, who has no primary challenger but still participated in Wednesday’s debate at the Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis. They are running to replace Mayor Gavin Buckley (D), who is term-limited after serving two four-year terms.

Pindell Charles, who has served as alderwoman on the city council since 2009, defended and supported the current and previous administrations and city workers. She also said the city already does shared services, or partnerships, such as public safety and procurement with the county.
“We have three stellar bond ratings and I think we [should] be proud of that,” Pindell Charles said. “Nevertheless, we need more focus on our working class and on our public and subsidized housing… There’s always more to do.”
