Overview

  • Littmann, a former Ward 5 alderman and local hardware store co-owner, took the oath at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Dec. 1.
  • He won 73% of the vote over Republican Robert O’Shea, securing a four-year term alongside an all-Democratic council.
  • He pledged to streamline permits, fix parking systems, improve public safety, enhance communication with residents, and finish the City Dock project.
  • Littmann administered oaths to four returning and four new aldermen, with the council’s first meeting set for Dec. 8.
  • Proceeds from the inaugural reception will generate at least $10,000 for the Anne Arundel County Food Bank, as dignitaries including Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Rep. Sarah Elfreth urged collaboration on flooding, housing and gun violence.
