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.

Courtney Caesar Hall passed away peacefully at his childhood home on April 29, 2021.
He was the greatest of human beings, who lived a life that read like many lifetimes. Courtney was an exceptional professional football player. He played for eight years as a starting offensive lineman for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers, captaining the team in its first-ever Super Bowl appearance. Courtney was a four-time NFL Pro Bowler who was inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame, and honored with the Gerald R. Ford Legends Award, among many other honors. While Courtney’s accomplishments as an athlete were many, they fail to define him fully. Courtney was indeed many things. He was a scholar, philanthropist, entrepreneur, teacher, and strategist or, as he would say, “the idea guy.”
