O'Malley Invites Public to 'Special Announcement'

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley revealed on Snapchat Tuesday that he will be making a big announcement May 30 on Federal Hill.

Since concluding his second term as governor, O’Malley has been touring the country and said he’s “seriously thinking” about a run for President in 2016.

His 34-second Snapchat cruised through Baltimore hot spots from Patterson Park to Locust Point, ending at Federal Hill, with the message: “Saturday, May 30th; 10 a.m.”

A few minutes after sharing that he tweeted : ”Join me...for a special announcement” and offered a website for those wishing to RSVP.

According to The Baltimore Sun, O’Malley held a rally at Federal Hill on the eve of his 2006 gubernatorial election.

The Democrat, whose previous posts include Baltimore mayor (1999-2007) and Maryland governor (2007-2015), has been speaking to grassroots activists in Iowa and New Hampshire but after the Baltimore riots last month, he reportedly abbreviated a trip in Europe to return to Charm City.

During an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, O’Malley said he helped hand out food at St. Peter Claver Church and noted he started his career as a prosecutor in west Baltimore.

Asked whether he planned to return to Baltimore for his Presidential campaign announcement, O’Malley said: “I wouldn’t think of announcing anyplace else.”
