From the very beginning, I decided to run for State's Attorney to make Baltimore a safer place for my daughter, for all of our children, our older adults, and all residents who lift up our great city.

 

It is an immense privilege to be Baltimore's choice as the next State's Attorney, and I recognize the difficulty of the task ahead.

 

I thank the residents of our beautiful city for your support, for your trust, and for your continued hope and belief in the resilience and bright future of Baltimore.

​

In service,

State's Attorney-Elect

Ivan J. Bates
