City of Cambridge special election results certified

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – The results of Cambridge’s June 6th election have been certified.

Laurel Atkiss was elected with 53.35% of the votes cast to represent Ward One, while Brian Roche was elected with 61.94% of the votes cast to represent Ward Five.

Cambridge Commissioners called for a special election in late April to fill the unexpired seats for Chad Malkus of Ward Five and Brian Roche of Ward One. Both were elected to their respective wards in 2022, but both had relocated to new homes outside of their wards and were therefore not allowed by the City’s Charter to finish their original terms.

City Manager Tom Carroll, who serves as Supervisor of Elections under the City’s Charter, certified the results of the special election on June 7th.

Commissioners-elect Atkiss and Roche will be sworn in by Dorchester Clerk of Court Amy Craig at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 12th, at City Council Chambers.
