New Ocean City mayor supports return of tram, shares top priorities

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. According to unofficial results tallied by the Ocean City Board of Supervisors Elections, James recieved a total of 1,438 votes and Meehan 1,136 votes. At just 33 years old, James is the youngest mayor in Ocean City, Md., history. He believes having young blood in a vital leadership position is a positive for the resort town.
