Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, born March 17, 1970, is the second African-American woman to serve as mayor of Baltimore, Maryland. In 1995, she became the youngest person elected to the Baltimore City Council, representing Districts 5 and 6.
She became President of the Council in January 2007 and became acting mayor when Sheila Dixon resigned from office in February 2010.
Rawlings-Blake sought a full-term mayor in 2011 and won, getting 84% of the vote. After criticism of her handling of the 2015 Baltimore Riots, she announced that she would not seek re-election in the 2016 race.
