Paddack hopes for another four years on City Council By Mallory Panuska Staff Writer (Nov. 4, 2022) Councilman Mark Paddack waited until the 11th hour to throw his hat in the ring for a second term on City Council, but he wants voters to know that is he is all in and committed to serving. “I am seeking re-election to continue my efforts to promote Ocean City as a World-Famous Family Resort,” he said in an email this week. “For over three decades I have devel-
oped an intrinsic knowledge of the history, development, infrastructure, and internal operations of the Town’s government. I have been honored to serve in a Mark Paddack policy-making position and understand our Town employees’ wants and needs. Bottom line is ‘I believe in Ocean City’ and am See PADDACK Page 7

Paddack, 61, is a current councilman seeking a second consecutive term. He was first elected four years ago after retiring from the Ocean City Police Department. He served on the force for nearly 30 years, ending his tenure as a sergeant in 2018. He was the last person to file for election this year, thus making it a competitive race by upping the total number of candidates to four for the three open seats. He currently serves on the city’s Transportation Commission, and Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe Housing, Recreation and Parks, and Ocean City Humane Society committees, as well as the Noise and Beach Mediation boards. Proctor, 54, is new to politics and was the first person to file for the council race in late June. She works as an associate broker at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services on 50th Street. She has been with the company since 2011 and in the real estate business for more than 25 W NE ING! T S I L
years. Proctor has been vacationing in Ocean City since she was a child and bought a condominium with her husband in 2005. Three years later, they moved to the resort permanently and raised three children, all of whom graduated from Stephen Decatur High School. Savage, 42, is an Ocean City native who spent most of his life helping his family run the Majestic Hotel on the Boardwalk at Sixth Street. After the family sold the hotel earlier this year, Savage has been focusing his efforts on running a Boardwalk store and raising his two elementary-school-aged children with his wife. He is also new to politics but has been a member of the town’s volunteer fire company since he was 14. He has held multiple operational and administrative ranks, including treasurer for four terms, lieutenant for six years, and assistant chief for eight terms, and has earned multiple commendations and certifications. Meehan does not have an opponent, and because the city election does not allow for write in candidates, he is slated to win the seat regardless of the number of votes he receives. 57-acre residential building lot w/beautiful golf course views of Hole #4 green at Seaside Course/Ocean City Golf Club.
