Republican Nino Mangione won the election for the Baltimore County Council District 5 seat in Maryland. Mangione secured approximately 48.7 to 49 percent of the vote, defeating Democratic candidate Shawn McIntosh, who received roughly 45 percent. An independent candidate, Cory Shaffer, received about 6 percent of the vote.

Mangione, a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates, focused his campaign on public safety, supporting law enforcement, and taxpayer advocacy. 

The election results drew attention due to Mangione being the cousin of Luigi Mangione. Luigi Mangione has pleaded guilty to federal crimes related to the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and faces separate state charges in New York.
