Nicholas James "Nick" Mosby is an American politician currently serving as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from the 40th district since January 2017. Previously he served as a member of the Baltimore City Council.
Mosby is a 1997 graduate of the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and has a bachelor of science in electrical engineering from Tuskegee University. Mosby is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, having been initiated at the Pi Omega Chapter in Baltimore.
Mosby defeated two term incumbent Baltimore City Councilwoman Belinda K. Conaway by double digit margin.
During the 2015 Baltimore protests, Mosby said that the rioting was a "cry for help." Mosby represents district 7, where the worst of the rioting happened. He has compared the riots to the 2015 riots in Lexington, Kentucky, after the Kentucky Wildcats lost to the Wisconsin Badgers.
On October 26, 2015, Mosby announced that he was running for mayor of Baltimore. He dropped out of the race on April 13, 2016, and threw his support behind Catherine E. Pugh.
When he announced his bid for the mayoral election, he decided to forego a bid for re-election to his seat on the Council. On November 8, 2016, Leon F. Pinkett won his vacated seat on the Council.
Mosby is married to Marilyn Mosby, the state's attorney of Baltimore City. He is Catholic.
