Luigi Mangione’s Cousin Elected in Baltimore
A cousin of Luigi Mangione, Nino, kept his seat in the Baltimore County Council as a tough-on-crime MAGA Republican.
Baltimore County's District 5 saw a surprising outcome in Tuesday's elections as Nino Mangione, cousin of convicted killer Luigi Mangione, secured his re-election. The Republican, known for his MAGA stance, claimed victory with 48.7% of the vote, narrowly surpassing his Democratic opponent Shawn McIntosh. This win solidifies Mangione's position on the Baltimore County Council, where he has served since June 1, following the resignation of longtime councilmember Wade Kach.
The Mangione family, comprising 37 grandchildren, has long been influential in Baltimore, with Nick Mangione Sr. being a self-made multimillionaire who owned various businesses. However, Luigi Mangione's life took a drastic turn when he pleaded guilty to stalking charges in August for allegedly planning to murder United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
In contrast, Nino Mangione's campaign focused on crime issues, emphasizing the need for stricter judicial enforcement and emphasizing the safety of citizens in their communities.
