10 to compete for Rawlings-Blake?s council seat

They range from a former Baltimore police detective to a city school teacher. They count among their ranks a chief executive officer, a therapist and a restaurant owner. They even include a Republican.

The 10 men and women who have applied for the Baltimore City Council?s open District 6 seat represent a diverse cross-section of the Northwest Baltimore district, said City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who chairs the committee formed to fill the seat she vacated in January.
