Ivan Bates is elected as the next Baltimore state’s attorney

Ivan Bates took his 6-year-old daughter, London, with him as he voted at his polling place at Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School in Locust Point. Bates said he walked her into the building and explained the process of voting. When she saw the ballot with her father’s name on it, she exclaimed, “Daddy, that’s you! Daddy, that’s you!” They then held a pen together and filled out the bubble. “To be able to share that with my daughter,” he said, “was very special.” On Tuesday, Bates, 54, of Locust Point, was elected as the next Baltimore state’s attorney. He unseated the two-term incumbent, Marilyn Mosby, in the Democratic primary and did not face a challenger in the general election.
