The current District 13 councilwoman has been representing parts of east Baltimore since 2016.

As of Thursday, no candidates have officially filed paperwork to run for the seat, but District 7 councilman Leon Pinkett posted on Facebook last month he was also running.

Incumbent city council president Brandon Scott is running for mayor.

Only one candidate, Raymond Wallace David, a Democrat, has filed paperwork to run for Sneed's current seat.
