Independent Baltimore City Mayoral Candidate Bob Wallace Announces Plan to Walk Through 32 Baltimore City Zip Codes in September to Speak with Residents

Independent Baltimore City Mayoral Candidate Bob Wallace today unveiled his Walking With Wallace campaign. The candidate invites residents to join him as he walks through neighborhoods across 32 Baltimore City zip codes over the next 32 days.

Beginning Tuesday, September 1, 2020, Wallace will walk for several hours every day through various Baltimore neighborhoods, visiting with community organizers, business owners, faith leaders, and members of the community to listen to their concerns regarding the issues facing the city.

“I look forward to visiting our neighborhoods to meet face-to-face with my neighbors across Baltimore as I hear their concerns and talk about the different issues facing our communities,” Wallace said. “My candidacy is about representing Baltimoreans from every corner of the city and all walks of life. From crime to education, housing, and quality of life, Baltimore’s next mayor must have a comprehensive understanding of the needs of each neighborhood so we can create meaningful solutions.”

Wallace will be walking through a different Baltimore City zip code area each day through the month of September to hear directly from city residents about the issues affecting them in their own communities. Each daily walking route will include visits to schools, faith-based organizations and community centers within that community.

Media are welcome to join the candidate and his supporters as they walk through neighborhoods across the city and engage in important conversation with residents. Masks are required for all walk participants and social distancing guidelines will be followed.

Wallace is running on an economic development platform including a plan to create 100,000 new jobs in his first term as mayor, as well as bringing $1 Billion in economic investment to Baltimore.
