Tammy Stinnett
50, Chairperson, Baltimore City Democratic State Central Committee
As someone who likes to see quick results, Tammy Stinnett can’t seem to move fast enough as the Baltimore City Democratic State Central Committee she chairs tries to expand its reach and capitalize on the buzz around this year’s elections.
“There’s an extra special excitement this cycle,” Stinnett said, naming Democratic candidates like Angela Alsobrooks for U.S. Senate and Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
Stinnett has been a member of the 40-member committee since 2018 and its leader since 2022. After leading the group through its return to post-pandemic, in-person grassroots work, she’s focused on building out its field operation. This year, that means voter registration events, phone banking, door-knocking and — in a first for the city committee — a postcard-writing campaign to inform voters and encourage them to turn out.
“We don’t want to leave anyone out of the equation,” Stinnett said. “There are communities that need a little bit more engagement such as the young adults, returning citizens. We have a large population of Hispanic individuals. So we’re trying to focus and get into those communities and just let them know that we’re here and that their vote matters.”
