Baltimore Deputy Mayor Faith Leach, who spearheaded squeegee collaborative, named city administrator

Baltimore Deputy Mayor Faith Leach has been named city administrator, the second person to hold the newly created post in the city. Leach, the deputy mayor of equity, health and human services, joined the administration in 2021. She has been a visible representative for Democratic Mayor Brandon Scott, leading the city’s outreach programs to squeegee workers and working on the city’s guaranteed income pilot program. The appointment announced Tuesday requires confirmation from the Baltimore City Council. Scott said in a news release that Leach has proved herself as a “transformational leader.”
