Littmann easily wins Democratic primary for Annapolis mayor, now faces O'Shea

Jared Littmann’s early lead in the Democratic primary for Annapolis mayor held, and even widened slightly, in an overwhelming win over longtime City Council Alderwoman Rhonda Pindell Charles, according to official results released Tuesday.

The final tallies showed Littmann, a local businessman, with 2,594 votes to 1,271 for Pindell Charles, who was seeking to become the city’s first elected Black mayor. That was similar to election night results from Sept. 16, but it took election officials another week to tally more than 1,700 mail-in and drop box ballots, more than 40% of the total cast in the race.

Littmann thanked family, volunteers, donors and voters for the win in a social media post after the final results were announced. The win has been a long time coming — he announced his candidacy in January 2024, and Pindell Charles joined the race last September.

Pindell Charles, a 12-year council veteran who has served as acting mayor on occasion, also thanked her volunteers and supporters in a Facebook post, and congratulated Littman on his win.
