A new individual has taken seat in Ocean City, Maryland's mayoral office. Newly elected Mayor Matt James was sworn in this month after unseating former Mayor Rick Meehan by approximately 300 votes during the resort town's municipal election, which was held in conjunction with the gubernatorial election on Nov. 3, 2026.
