Ivan Bates - Baltimore City State's Attorney

Thank you Baltimore! Yesterday was one of the most special and memorable days of my life, and that’s all because of you! We celebrated my swearing-in as your next State’s Attorney in style, now it’s time to get to work Building Bridges for a Better Baltimore! #WeOurBaltimore

Thank you to everyone who came out to our 3rd Annual Solutions Pact at Digital Harbor High School last night! No singular agency, office, or individual can solve Baltimore's challenges alone. It takes all of us, from law enforcement to community organizations.

Last night, Secretary Betsy Fox Tolentino joined Baltimore City State’s Attorney @ivanjbates for the Solutions Pact Community Town Hall. Leaders across the public safety system discussed community safety, smoke shop legislation & DJS programs supporting youth.

We are exactly 1 month away from National Crime Victims' Rights Week which kicks off with the statewide memorial service for crime victims. Our region will be hosted by Anne Arundel County at Arundel High School in Gambrills. For more info, visit ovc.ojp.gov/program/nation…

Thank you Baltimore. To all those who came out to join my team and I - along with DJS Secretary Betsy Fox Tolentino Councilman @councilmanglover the ATCC, Sheriffs Office and Host @tjsmithsocial - to get to solutions for the issues plaguing our communities including juvenile crime and the proliferation of smoke shops in our communities.

Thank you

Four years ago, I was campaigning door to door communicating my vision for a safer Baltimore, which started with targeting repeat, violent gun offenders. Here we are in my fourth year as the Baltimore City States Attorney and we have been blessed to have achieved historic declines in homicides and non-fatal shootings annually. #TBThursday That is why I decided to run for re-election, to continue making progress in the City I love. We are not yet where we need to be, but we are far from where we were before. And I’m honored to have the support and endorsement of people like my friend and Congressman, @repkweisimfume Together we can begin Building Bridges for a Safer Baltimore. “Ivan Bates is, and has been, a dedicated, experienced, and consistent fighter on behalf of justice for the people of Baltimore. That’s why I endorse and wholeheartedly support him to continue as our brilliant and dedicated States Attorney. Ivan understands criminal justice and the issues that matter. His work and advocacy on behalf of communities, victims, seniors, and families is making a real difference in the lives and safety of City residents every day. Re-Elect Ivan Bates for Baltimore City States Attorney!” Kweisi Mfume Member of Congress, 7th District - Maryland
