A year ago, Maryland State Senator Catherine Pugh stood on the streets of Baltimore urging residents to remain calm as the city was consumed by unrest following Freddie Gray's death in police custody. Today, Pugh is the front-runner to become the next mayor of Baltimore.

On Tuesday, Pugh won 37% of the Democratic primary vote, beating former Mayor Sheila Dixon, who earned 34%, and Elizabeth Embry, a former Baltimore prosecutor, who came in third with 12% of the vote.
