Background

Career

Patricia Coats Jessamy was the first woman to serve as Baltimore City State’s Attorney. She began her legal career in Maryland in 1985 as an Assistant State’s Attorney. In 1987, State’s Attorney Stuart Simms appointed Jessamy as Deputy State’s Attorney for Administration. As Deputy State’s Attorney, Jessamy created the Victim Assistance Program and was responsible for all fiscal matters, budgets, and personnel. In 1995, the Circuit Court unanimously appointed Jessamy as State’s Attorney following Simms' resignation to become State Secretary for Juvenile Services. She has successfully run for re-election in November 1998, 2002, and 2006. Jessamy considered running for Mayor of Baltimore during the 1999 mayoral election,[1] but declined to run.

Jessamy was defeated in her September 14, 2010 primary bid by Democrat Gregg Bernstein.[2]
