The result of Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary looked similar to 2018, as Incumbent Mayor Justin Wilson defeated former Mayor Allison Silberberg in a rematch, though by a considerably wider margin than three years ago.
Wilson won the 2021 Democratic mayoral nomination with 13,005 of the total 22,734 votes, or 57.21% as of press time. Silberberg received 9,729 votes, or 42.79%. Ultimately, 23.03% of the city’s 98,728 total registered voters cast votes in the primary.
Wilson will go on to face Republic mayoral nominee Annetta Catchings in the Nov. 2 general election.
