The Reverend Jamal Bryant of Baltimore, pastor of Empowerment Temple, has been rumored to be running for mayor of Baltimore. An announcement to that effect is planned for tomorrow morning in EastWest Baltimore at the Freddie Gray Empowerment Center.
However, I’ve been sent photographs of Reverend Bryant’s signs, and they clearly show that he’s running for Congress.
A close ally of Elijah Cummings, I am advised that there is no chance that Bryant is running against Cummings. So what is Cummings planning that frees up Bryant to run in CD7? Senate? Mayor? This is a potentially huge story that bears watching. Something is definitely afoot in Charm City.
