When you are Baltimore’s first Jewish Council President in over 45 years you might just randomly run into a Rabbi on your walk to work in Little Italy. He might just insist that you shake the Lulav and Etrog for Sukkot. I love this town.

I want to take a moment to publicly thank one of my mentors for showing up to support me last night. Congressman Kweisi Mfume is a civil rights icon, the former head of the NAACP, and a fighter for our Democracy.

When 280 people showed up to show love at my Fall Festival and my crazy kids stole the show 😂 I love this city.

It was great to welcome Council Presidents from across Maryland and D.C. to City Hall.

To everyone in Baltimore observing Yom Kippur, wishing you a meaningful day of reflection, forgiveness, and renewal. May this be a time to take stock, make amends, and enter the year ahead with intention. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Our police officers alone should not be expected to solve mental health crises. The Council held hearings, studied best practices and listened to our neighbors. I am proud that tonight I will introduce a bill to create a new department that connects residents with the right care at the right time.

L’Shanah Tovah to Baltimore’s Jewish community and to all who are celebrating Rosh Hashanah.  May this new year bring sweetness, peace and health. May we continue to build a Baltimore rooted in justice, compassion, and care for one another.

Great to join Governor Wes Moore in opening the MD Dems' new field office, right here in Baltimore. I appreciated the chance to speak with my City Council colleagues and the Governor about what it means to show up for our residents. This is Baltimore's moment.

One of the coolest moments of my career was introducing Mike D from the Beastie Boys to Baltimore at the Sound Garden. Growing up, I was a huge fan. At age 60 he still sounds amazing. Baltimore is winning!

It was great spending time with the Baltimore Furniture Bank and hearing directly from their partners about what it takes to help families build stability at home. This is what partnership looks like.

Baltimore, I had the pleasure of spending time with the amazing women of Hon’s Honey. They make candles, soap, and delicious honey with all natural products.

I am so incredibly proud of Baltimore’s historic declines in violence.  When I joined the Council ten years ago, our city felt out of control. Death and corruption defined our narrative.

This is what Baltimore’s renaissance looks like. 🎹 As a proud piano-lesson parent, I joined neighbors, artists, and city and state partners to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the Patterson Park Academy of Music. 1/4

Some of my favorite moments from National Night Out:  My favorite judge straightening me out at Hunting Ridge  Spending time in the neighborhood at Ashburton   Photo-bombing my MIMA friends do their thing in Upper Fells  1/2

Baltimore showed up and showed out for National Night Out!   NNO shows that it takes a village to reduce murders to record lows. Whether we’re on the East Side or West Side - our village is strong 💪

As the 1st city in America to legislate trauma-informed care, Baltimore can also be the BEST city for youth mental health. I was honored to keynote today’s conference at the Bloomberg School for Public Health. 1/2

Today and every day I will fight back against BGE’s extractive money grab.  A powerful coalition is calling on the PSC to approve more battery storage projects across Maryland. Such projects support our power grid and prevent BGE from profiting even more at ratepayers' expense.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Not every kid in Baltimore needs to go to college. But every kid deserves an opportunity for a high paying job in the building trades. That’s why I was proud to host my friends in the Trades along with Councilmembers Jones and Dorsey at City Hall. 1/3

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Baltimoreans should not be footing the bill for BGE's record profits.   The previous conduit deal allowed BGE to profit from investments they made into the City-owned underground utility network. 1/2

This budget literally puts our money where our values are: safer schools, stronger neighborhoods, and support for the local, worker-owned businesses that power our economy. 1/2

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Through collaborative negotiations, the City Council successfully won additional funding for childcare, safer schools, smoke-shop inspectors and immigration services. We couldn't have done it without budget season MVP, Chair Danielle McCray.

As a young(ish) dad, figuring out how and where our kids learn is deeply personal to me and your City Council. Today, I was grateful to welcome the National League of Cities to Baltimore with Mayor Scott, Councilman Bullock, Gray, Blanchard, Jones, and Torrence. 1/3

Every kid in Baltimore deserves to swim in a beautiful pool. Especially big kids like me, the Mayor, Councilman Bullock and Comptroller Henry 😂 Today, we cut the ribbon with the Poppleton community for the grand opening of the Greater Model outdoor pool. Baltimore deserves this!

For too long, our young people have been exposed to smoke shops selling poison. 1/2

The Baltimore City Council stands united with our immigrant families. Our schools must be safe. Baltimore will not abandon our values or our neighbors.

Happy Pride Month, Baltimore! I was honored to kick off Baltimore's celebrations with the Pride Center of Maryland today. Last year, marching as a Grand Marshal of Baltimore Pride was joyful! This month and every month, I'm proud to stand with Baltimore's LGBTQ community. 🏳️‍🌈

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

City, state and law enforcement officials stood together today to say enough is enough. There are more than 1,200 smoke shops open across Baltimore. Some sell unregulated, dangerous drugs. We do not have the legal tools in our toolbox to shut down problematic businesses for good.

Every moment spent with Baltimore's older adult community is a reminder of why this work matters. Thank you Mayor Scott and Mount Pleasant Church and Ministries for hosting Baltimore's 4th Annual Older Adult Seminar.

Baltimore fought for this. Maryland is accelerating nearly $25 million to jump-start a new bus division - the linchpin of the BMORE Bus plan and a major step toward expanding service for the workers, students, and families who depend on it every day.

A little rain didn’t stop my son Elias and I from chowing down at Artscape’s Food Lab this weekend. I’m still thinking about just how good those Beye Beignets were, and Elias wouldn’t stop talking about the smash burger from Royal Sauce .

Wishing Baltimore a meaningful Memorial Day and a moment to remember the brave men and women who gave everything. Today we honor their sacrifice and recommit to building a city and a nation worthy of all they gave.

Today at the Board of Estimates, we reviewed a disturbing audit. The Finance Department is failing to send correct invoices, collect money that is owed, and follow up when it isn't paid. They couldn't even estimate how much revenue is missing. This is unacceptable.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Taxpayer Night gives the Council an opportunity to hear directly from the people. I love listening to Baltimoreans speak about what they want to see reflected in our city’s budget.  This is our moment. I am so grateful to serve.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Thank you to our intrepid 2026 City Council Pages! Hayley, Sebastian, Rylee, & Jerome worked alongside the Council to research issues affecting our City, interviewed Councilmembers about their work and priorities, and presented advocacy projects focused on making Baltimore better for its residents.

The Council’s message is clear: If smoke shop owners sell illegal drugs to our kids and prey on our communities, we will use our padlock legislation to shut you down.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Baltimore has 1,200+ tobacco retailers — and too many are illegally selling unregulated, potentially dangerous drugs. Tonight, we're introducing legislation to padlock nuisance smoke shops.

Baltimore is a city that protects its people. The Safe Spaces and Communities Act is now law, ensuring that our city’s schools, libraries, and public spaces remain sanctuaries for every resident, regardless of immigration status. This is what it looks like when community shows up and demands better.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Thanks to my colleagues and all the Baltimoreans who supported my bill to establish a one-year moratorium on data centers! There were multiple proposals on the table to weaken it, but instead we strengthened the bill.

Zeke Cohen @zekecohen.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Data centers place an enormous strain on local electricity demand, leading to higher utility bills. Please join the City Council for a hearing on a bill that would place a one-year moratorium on data centers in Baltimore, this Thursday, May 7.

Baltimore’s CAD systems connects first responders to scenes of emergencies. Baltimore deserves a world-class system with zero failures. The City Council will continue to fight for a timely, efficient replacement.

It was incredible to be in a room full of leaders who recognize and value the power in mentorship.

Baltimore just moved one step closer to banning private detention centers. No corporation should profit from the detention of our neighbors. I'm proud that this bill passed out of committee, and we will keep fighting until it is law.

Prisons should not be for profit. Show your support for a ban on private detention centers at a City Council committee hearing this Thursday, April 30 at 10:30 a.m.!
