In the 18 months since that event, Mckesson has become a full-time activist, working within the loosely organized Black Lives Matter movement, helping formulate its related police-reform campaign known as Campaign Zero, and traveling across the country to protest and support those working in support of those efforts.
Mckesson is now formally jumping into politics.
On Wednesday, Mckesson announced that he has filed to run for the mayor of Baltimore. A native of the city, Mckesson will run in the Democratic primary.
"I am running to be the 50th Mayor of Baltimore in order to usher our city into an era where the government is accountable to its people and is aggressively innovative in how it identifies and solves its problems. We can build a Baltimore where more and more people want to live and work, and where everyone can thrive," Mckesson said in a statement posted on Medium.

Help me work through this.

Was he speaking at a comedy club?
I'll help you through this, 1054. He is running on a platform that will get him elected, and when he does, the Police and all their friends and family and any other people with any sense will move away.
This will effectively end Baltimore, as we know it.
