Martin O’Malley

Martin O'Malley served as the 61st Governor of Maryland from 2007 to 2015. Previously, he served as Mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to 2007 and was a Councilman from the Third Council District on the Balitmore City Council from 1991 to 1999. In his first years as Mayor, he adopted a statistics-based tracking system (CitiStat) modeled after ComStat, a crime management program first employed in the mid-1990s in New York City. In 2014, the CitiStat accountability tool won Harvard University's "Innovations in American Government" award. As Governor, O'Malley implemented CitiStat as StateStat collecting data on a wide range of initiatives statewide; the EPA based its ChesapeakeStat program on O'Malley's innovative BayStat program. He received a JD from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law and a BA in political science from Catholic University.
