Election day fun facts
‘Round the city today, there has been plenty of talk about the incumbent City Council members. In particular, the question is whether their positions are vulnerable.
Could they be ousted?
That remains to be seen. But here are some voting day fun fact about Greensboro’s mayors that may be a testament to the power of incumbents.
Since the city voters first began choosing the mayor at large in 1973, no incumbent mayor has lost a re-election bid. Before that the City Council chose the mayor, and there was turnover nearly every year.
Since ’73, the city has only had six mayors. The shortest length of serve was six years.
