Nick Mosby, Marilyn’s husband, told Geraldo Rivera on live t.v. during the riots that he was one of the ones who had told police to stand down.

City Councilman Nick J. Mosby is joining the race to be Baltimore’s next mayor, saying he can bridge the disconnect between the city’s boardrooms and its street corners.
Mosby, 36, a first-term council member from Reservoir Hill, says his upbringing by a struggling single mother and work experience for two major companies make him uniquely qualified for the job.
“I’m able to go into a boardroom, look at a problem, articulate a message and develop and execute a plan,” he said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun. “But my uniqueness is, I can also go on any street corner and do the same thing. We need that type of transformative leader to connect those dots.”
Mosby, the husband of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, plans to announce his candidacy Sunday afternoon. He will join a crowded field competing to replace Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is not running for re-election.
Candidates include former Mayor Sheila Dixon, state Sen. Catherine Pugh and City Councilman Carl Stokes. All, like Mosby, are Democrats. The Democratic primary, a contest that for decades has decided Baltimore’s mayors, is April 26.
