Baltimore’s Democratic candidates for mayor see the city’s technology community as an important source of economic development, and a potential partner in driving change at City Hall.
That’s the top-level takeaway from a Technical.ly-curated questionnaire submitted to the Democratic mayoral candidates on behalf of Baltimore’s tech scene.
The Democratic primary, scheduled for April 26 (voter registration deadline is April 5), often decides the mayor’s race in a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 9-1 (PDF).
On the 15 questions we submitted, there is broad consensus. We asked each candidate to respond either “Yes,” “No” or “Not yet determined” to explain their support for those issues. There wasn’t a single “No,” and only one outright “Not yet determined.” We learned more about each candidate’s plans at a forum held at Impact Hub Baltimore on Jan. 27, which you can watch here in its entirety.
