## Key points

- Nino Mangione won a narrow Baltimore County Council race.
- He campaigned on tackling violent crime.
- His cousin Luigi Mangione faces a separate state murder case.

## Summary

Republican Nino Mangione won a seat on Baltimore County Council after campaigning on public safety, narrowly defeating Democrat Shawn McIntosh. The result puts his crime-focused campaign in office and draws attention because he is the cousin of Luigi Mangione, who admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.

Nino Mangione received 48.72 per cent of the vote to McIntosh’s 45.16 per cent in the District 5 race. He had joined the council in June after being appointed to a vacant seat, and previously served in Maryland’s House of Delegates from 2019. His cousin has pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges connected to Thompson’s death, while a separate New York state murder case remains contested.
