Bikemore in Action 2026 Endorsements for Maryland General Assembly

Bikemore in Action’s #IBikeIVote2026 endorsements for the Maryland General Assembly!

• Senator Cory McCray, District 45

• Delegate Regina T. Boyce, District 43A

• Delegate Mark Edelson, District 46

• Delegate Elizabeth Embry, District 43A

• Delegate Robbyn Lewis District 46

• Malcolm Ruff, District 41 Senate

• Dianté Edwards, District 40 Delegate

The Incumbents:

Senator McCray and Delegates Boyce, Edelson, Embry, and Lewis have reliable voting records on legislation that directly improves transportation in Baltimore. 

They consistently vote to increase funding for MTA and maintain increased Highway User Revenues to fund critical Baltimore City Department of Transportation projects. 

They passed the Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Act to protect cyclists in bike lanes and have sponsored legislation to improve bus lane enforcement and to move toward a comparative negligence standard for vulnerable road users.

They champion the Transportation and Climate Alignment Act—sponsored by Delegate Edelson—which would mandate the state offset the negative effects of major highway expansions by funding offsets like transit, pedestrian, and bike projects.

The Challengers:

Our challengers offer strong platforms that align with Bikemore's vision for a connected, safe Baltimore. 

As a Delegate, Malcolm Ruff sponsored legislation creating a state-city partnership to preserve and elevate Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. His focus on environmental justice and expanding public green spaces directly supports the expansion of trail networks and active transportation infrastructure that Bikemore fights for. 

Dianté Edwards has a hands-on record of bringing Complete Streets to life. As head of his neighborhood association in Pigtown, he worked to install speed humps and traffic calming measures. His platform explicitly targets MTA reform, demanding safe and reliable public transit so Baltimore's students aren't forced to wait for unreliable buses in the dark.

Baltimore needs lawmakers who vote to fund the infrastructure our city actually relies on. Early voting starts June 11th. The Primary Election is June 23rd. Go vote.

#IBikeIVote and endorsements are made through Bikemore’s sibling organization, Bikemore in Action, a 501(c)(4). Bikemore in Action is entirely funded by thousands of small, non-tax-exempt donations from Baltimore residents.

Bikemore Endorsement Sweep

We walk, we bike, we roll. We take transit. We want to live in safe, walkable communities accessible to all.

Most importantly, we vote.

Thank you for supporting Bikemore's endorsed candidates. Every endorsed candidate won.

This election was a clear referendum on safer, calmer, more livable streets.

Candidates who threatened to rip out infrastructure and candidates who were impediments to infrastructure lost their races. Candidates promising to make our streets safer and expand access to opportunity for all road users won.

We have a lot of work to do after this election. Bikemore priority legislation that has been held up by current council leadership can be brought back and advanced. Projects that have been long stalled, like the separated lanes on Washington Street, Central Avenue, Eutaw Place, and Sharp Street, now have champions coming into office who vocally support installation.

We can't wait to share our vision for the next term in the coming months, and will be giving previews at upcoming Bike Breakfasts and Happy Hours.

To hit the ground running with the new council in January, Bikemore needs to be well resourced, and we need the financial and staff bandwidth to spend the summer and fall advocating to incoming and re-elected councilmembers.

We can't do this without your financial support. Please consider a one-time, recurring, or increased recurring donation today.

Bikemore Endorses Mayor Brandon Scott for Re-Election

Bikemore is endorsing Mayor Brandon Scott for re-election.

Baltimore needs a mayor that our children can look up to, that they can see themselves in. Our recent history of former mayors is plagued with scandal and single terms. Mayor Brandon Scott has brought stability, credibility, and ethical, honest leadership to the mayor’s office. He can relate directly with our city’s young people who struggle to navigate our public transit system to get to school and after school activities. He was once them, riding those same buses hours each way.

Mayor Brandon Scott adopted the city’s first Complete Streets Manual, prioritizing equity in project delivery. His Department of Transportation has applied for and won tens of millions of dollars in federal grants to improve our most dangerous intersections, improve transit reliability, and remove racist transportation barriers that destroyed communities: including The Highway to Nowhere and Druid Park Lake Drive.

Over the past four years, legislation critical to Baltimore’s ability to compete with peer cities and deliver access to opportunity for its residents has languished in City Council, failing to be heard while time has instead been spent on political grandstanding. We endorsed Zeke Cohen for Council President because he knows we must focus on the root causes of issues in our city, and that we can use our legislative body to address those issues at their core.

With Brandon Scott as Mayor and Zeke Cohen as City Council President, we will for the first time in memory have partners in leadership with the same equity-driven transportation philosophy.

Bikemore has also endorsed the following candidates:

Bill Henry, Comptroller
Ryan Dorsey, 3rd District
Paris Gray, 8th District
John Bullock, 9th District
Zac Blanchard, 11th District

With these leaders in office, Baltimore City will continue its trajectory toward a city designed for people—all people.

Bikemore endorses Zeke Cohen for City Council President, Bill Henry for Comptroller, and in select City Council races

Bikemore is launching our #IBikeIVote2024 campaign with our endorsement of Zeke Cohen for City Council President, as well as endorsements for Comptroller and in select City Council races.

Over the past four years, legislation critical to Baltimore’s ability to compete with peer cities and deliver access to opportunity for its residents has languished in City Council, failing to be heard while time has instead been spent on political grandstanding.

Addressing Baltimore’s transportation failures can not be placed in a queue behind other challenges, but must be seen as a solution to addressing them. Zeke Cohen gets this, and we are confident he will not only allow, but champion an evidence-based legislative agenda.

Bikemore is also endorsing the following candidates:

Bill Henry, Comptroller
Ryan Dorsey, 3rd District
Paris Gray, 8th District
John Bullock, 9th District
Zac Blanchard, 11th District

Bikemore will make a decision on mayoral endorsement after our Mayoral Transportation Forum on Thursday, April 11th.
