City of Brunswick Announces Process to Fill Current Council Member Vacancy

Brunswick, MD— The City of Brunswick announces the process to fill a current vacancy on the Council. The term for this seat runs through August 2030.

In accordance with Section 513 of the Brunswick City Charter, the Council will seek to appoint a qualified individual to fill the vacancy. The Charter states: “In case of a vacancy on the Council for any reason, by unanimous vote the Council shall elect a qualified person to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. Should a unanimous decision not be reached, a special election shall be held in accordance with this Charter and any ordinances governing the special election process.”

Timeline and Process for Filling the Vacancy:

  • August 31, 2026 – Candidate submission packets will be made available for download at www.brunswickmd.gov/mayorandcouncil, by emailing cmyers@brunswickmd.gov, or picked up at City Hall – 1 West Potomac Street, Brunswick, MD.  Completed packets must include a letter of interest, professional resume, nominations affidavit, petition of signatures, and Ethics Financial Disclosure.
