Luigi's Cousin Wins A Seat, And His Opponent Won't Concede Nino Mangione, a Republican first cousin of accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, won a seat on the Baltimore County Council on Tuesday, taking about 49% of the vote to 45% for Democrat Shawn McIntosh in District 5, according to unofficial results compiled by the Maryland Association of Counties.
The most Italian thing you'll see today Independent Cory Shaffer drew just over 2,000 votes, while WYPR put Mangione's lead over McIntosh at about 1,200 votes. The race isn't over on paper: McIntosh has not conceded and is waiting on mail-in ballots, as are two other Democratic council candidates who trailed on election night, WYPR reported.
Official results come after a full count of pending votes. Mangione, 39, served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 2019 to 2026.
