The Baltimore City Council is the legislature of Baltimore, Maryland. It was bicameral from its founding in 1797 until its branches merged to form a unicameral legislature in 1923.[1] The First Branch, the lower house, initially had two members from each of its eight wards with year-long terms. Wards became single-member in 1846 and terms were increased to two years in 1899, then four years in 1911. The First Branch had 28 wards when it was merged.[2] The Second Branch, the upper house, was originally composed of eight members with two-year terms elected by an electoral college. In 1807, the branch became directly elected, with one member elected from each ward. From 1846 to 1900, members represented two wards; wards were replaced with six districts and an at-large president in 1900.[3]
After the merger of the two branches, the unicameral council had three members from each of its six districts and an at-large president with four-year terms. A fourth member was added to the fifth and third districts in 1947 and 1951, respectively; these extra members were removed in 1967. After Question P was passed in 2002, the council was reorganized to have a single member from 14 districts and an at-large president.[4] After the 2020 election[update], its members – Zeke Cohen, Danielle McCray, Ryan L. Dorsey, Mark Conway, Isaac "Yitzy" Schleifer, Sharon Green Middleton, James Torrence, Kristerfer A. L. Burnett, John T. Bullock, Phylicia Porter, Eric T. Costello, Robert R. Stokes, Sr., Antonio Glover, and Odette Ramos – as well as its president, Nick Mosby, are all from the Democratic Party.[5]

Second Branch[edit]
Unicameral council[edit]
Notes[edit]
- ^ a b c Members of multi-member districts had no order of precedence; in this list, they are sorted alphabetically from left to right, however, if a member served multiple consecutive terms, they will remain in a single cell.
- ^ a b Dorsey resigned; Smith was elected to replace him in March.[8]
- ^ While the Maryland State Archives report Jacob's surname as "Wiley",[6] newspapers of the time wrote it as "Yeisley".[15][16]
- ^ Although their individual affiliations are unknown, the members of the 1861 council were nominated by the Central Independent Reform Committee to contest the Know Nothings.[15][16]
- ^ Sources conflict on Williams's middle initial; newspapers of the time reported his name as "William J. Williams",[17][18] while the Maryland State Archives report it as "William T. Williams".[6]
