Martin O’Malley

Governor O’Malley, a pioneer in the use of data for better governing, served for eight years as Mayor of Baltimore. In City Hall, he implemented a program called CitiStat, a data-driven system that tracked how well Baltimore’s government was serving its citizens. During that time, his policies helped the people of Baltimore achieve the greatest crime reduction of America’s largest cities. He applied these lessons during his eight years as Governor of Maryland to implement StateStat, once again using data to monitor and manage state agencies against performance targets. In 2016 he ran as a Democratic candidate for President of the United States.
