A fictionalized version of the events of the 1999 Baltimore mayoral election were presented in third and fourth seasons. Many saw the connection between Carcetti and Martin O'Malley, an Irish-American Baltimore City Councillor who was elected mayor, defeating two African American opponents. David Simon denied that the character of Tommy Carcetti was supposed to be O'Malley. David Simon did acknowledge that O'Malley was "one of several inspirations" for Carcetti. He further stated that while Carcetti was "reflective" of O'Malley, Carcetti was a composite drawing aspects from other local politicians that he had covered when he worked as a reporter for The Baltimore Sun.
