Hyman A. Pressman

Hyman A. Pressman

Hyman A. Pressman (April 23, 1914 - March 15, 1996) served as the Comptroller of Baltimore City, Maryland, from 1963 - 1991. He ran for Governor of Maryland in 1966 as an Independent after the Democratic Party nominated conservative Democrat George P. Mahoney as its candidate.

Pressman lost his first bid for election in the 1963 Baltimore Democratic Primary election for City Comptroller to Henry R. Hergenroeder, Sr. by just over 1,200 votes (less than 1%). Following the election, the Republican Party candidate withdrew and Pressman accepted the Republican nomination as their candidate for City Comptroller. He won the General Election running on a 'ticket' with former Baltimore Mayor and Maryland Governor Republican Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, who was elected as Mayor the same year. Pressman returned to the Democratic Party following his victory and won six additional terms as Baltimore City Comptroller.
