Jared Littman sworn in as Annapolis mayor, pledges focus on parking, permitting and CityDock
Summary
At a public inauguration at Navy Stadium, Jared Littman took the oath of office as mayor of Annapolis and used his inaugural address to pledge improved permitting, renewed momentum on CityDock and attention to parking and public safety while urging civic engagement.
Jared Littman was sworn in as mayor of the city of Annapolis during an inaugural ceremony at Navy Stadium and used his first address to pledge a government focused on listening, efficiency and tangible local improvements.
Littman repeated the oath administered by an official and said he would “support the Constitution” and “execute the office of Mayor of the city of Annapolis” faithfully. In his remarks, he thanked family and campaign volunteers and called for a city government that “delivers high-quality services in a genuine customer service culture.”
Why it matters: Littman framed his early agenda around easing everyday friction for residents. He named several administration priorities — continuing momentum on large projects such as CityDock, efforts to improve public safety, and streamlining permitting — and singled out parking as the top issue heard during the campaign: “Parking, of course.” He also repeatedly appealed for civility and civic participation, urging residents to get involved in commissions, volunteering and community cleanups.
Supporting details: Littman said he had spent the immediate post-election period meeting with city directors and chiefs to set expectations and prepare goals, and promised to work with the new city council to set clear objectives. He described Annapolis as a “historic maritime city” with strengths to build on, noting institutions such as the U.S. Naval Academy and Saint John’s College.
Direct quotes: “We’ll continue the momentum on big stakes projects like CityDock and improving public safety.” “Parking, of course.” “Annapolis works.”
Next steps: Littman said he would meet with city staff and the council to set specific goals and to improve communications with residents; he did not announce specific enactments or timelines during the ceremony.
Authorities and formal action: Littman took the oath of office to support the U.S. Constitution and the state constitution and to uphold the city charter and code. The ceremony recorded the formal swearing-in; no votes or council actions were taken during the event.
