Report: Marilyn Mosby To Challenge State’s Attorney Bernstein

Marilyn Mosby, the wife of Councilman Nick Mosby, wants to carry on the family tradition of defeating incumbents. 

Marilyn Mosby will challenge Baltimore State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein in next year’s Democratic primary, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Marilyn Mosby has launched a website that does not indicate which office she will be seeking, and has also registered a campaign finance committee, Friends of Marilyn Mosby, with the state board of elections.

Bernstein, of Roland Park, defeated former State’s Attorney Patricia Jessamy in 2010.  Rep. Elijah Cummings, who has been a supporter of Nick Mosby and appeared at his fundraiser last month, was also a supporter of Jessamy.      

According to his annual campaign finance report, Bernstein has $149,326 on hand in his campaign account. His campaign spent about $155,000 to his previous race that he won by 1,167 votes.

Nick Mosby defeated former Councilwoman Belinda Conaway in the 2011 Democratic primary.
