Managing a City Council Race

Diamond Strategies led and developed all campaign aspects for Mark Edelson’s 2016 City Council campaign which included messaging, fundraising, field universe development, and building an external consultant team and internal staff. The 2016 District City Council race was the most competitive in Baltimore City’s history, with three campaigns raising over $150,000 and spending record amounts on a local race. While ultimately placing third, Edelson was the only candidate besides now-Councilman Zeke Cohen to win any precincts outright in the primary election and raised over $160,000.
