Lawyer whose family owns food firm files for council
A South Baltimore lawyer whose Little Italy roots date back more than a century is running for City Council.
Nicole Pastore-Klein, a commercial attorney for Saul Ewing LLP, filed her candidacy Friday at the board of elections. Pastore-Klein, 30, is seeking the council seat in the new 10th District in South Baltimore. The first-time candidate will be running against two-term incumbent Councilman Edward L. Reisinger.
Her family's Pastore Foods company owns the Sun of Italy label. She graduated in 1995 from Tulane University in New Orleans. She earned a law degree at the University of Baltimore Law School in 2000 and founded the Key Highway Community Association. She also was co-host of a fund-raiser for Mayor Martin O'Malley this year.
