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. "I think it's great for the image of the town," he said. James' time spent working on the ground during his campaign period was essential to winning the mayoral election. "I think (voters) appreciated the work I did during the campaign and the work I've done over the last 12 years on the council," he shared. "I knocked on somewhere around 1,200 doors. I talked to a lot of residents of Ocean City, and a lot of voters in Ocean City about their concerns." From youngest on Town Council to youngest ever Ocean
