Donald Rice to Become New Mayor of Frederick
Alderman Donald B. Rice will become mayor of Frederick replacing Elmer F Munshower who earlier this month takes command of the Maryland State Police. The decision was announced at a Friday night meeting of the Mayor and Aldermen with a Democratic majority signifying the choice. The shift changes the city’s political balance and will trigger an aldermanic vacancy to be filled by a Democrat. The board’s procedure likely involves Munshower resigning followed by Rice resigning as alderman to allow appointment to the mayoralty.
