Mosby appointed to Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission

Nick Mosby will soon have a new job on the state Lottery and Gaming Control Commission if lawmakers approve his appointment.

Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, submitted a slew of appointments, and Mosby was included.

The former President of the Baltimore City Council lost his bid for re-election in the May Democratic primary election. Mosby’s loss followed the federal perjury and mortgage fraud trials of his ex-wife, former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby.

During the mortgage fraud trial, Nick Mosby testified on behalf of his ex-wife and admitted to hiding tax liens, ballooning tax debt, and avoiding opening the mail — which included important letters from the IRS — from his then-wife.

Nick Mosby’s appointment is subject to state Senate confirmation. The commission comprised of seven members; the terms are five years.

The commission oversees lottery, casino and sports wagering operations, regulations, contracts and licenses.

In 2017, Mosby was appointed to the House of Delegates after one term on the City Council and a brief run for mayor.

Mosby held that appointment until he was elected president of Baltimore’s legislative branch in 2020.
