Incumbent Mayor Bernardo "Totie" Paredes sought for re-election for his fifth non-consecutive term. His opponent was then-vice mayor Percilito "Penchie" Consigo. They were partners in the 2013 election and were only estranged in the weeks leading to the filing of certificates of candidacy. Meanwhile, City Councilor Denver Chua ran for Vice Mayor under Mayor Paredes' ticket. He ran against barangay captain Obet de Leon under the Liberal Party ticket.

Cousins Paul Plaridel Abaya and Angelo Emilio Aguinaldo are running for mayor. The former is the incumbent vice mayor and brother of Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya and Representative Francis "Blue" Abaya, while the latter, the perceived preferred candidate of Partido Magdalo in Kawit, is an incumbent councilor and son of third-term Mayor Reynaldo "Tik" Aguinaldo.

Three-termer outgoing mayor Enrico "Boy" Alvarez has agreed to the request of Governor Jonvic Remulla to field a common candidate for the UNA-Partido Magdalo Coalition in Noveleta, Cavite. Because of this "One Cavite" project of the governor, Mayor Boy Alvarez endorsed former vice mayor and incumbent provincial board member Dino Reyes Chua to be his successor as mayor of Noveleta. Meanwhile, his younger brother, Noveleta incumbent vice mayor Davey Reyes Chua, is supposedly running for provincial board member to replace his elder brother, who is running for Noveleta mayor. But the governor has committed the party slot for another candidate which made him decide to give way and just run for re-election as municipal councilor of Noveleta to support the mayoral bid of his brother. The Reyes-Chua Brothers came from the Reyes Clan of Noveleta. The legacy of the Reyes Clan started with the late Mayor Librado Reyes and Mayor Pepe Reyes (father and son) who both served as Noveleta mayors during the 1950s and 1980s respectively.

Incumbent Mayor Jose "Nonong" Ricafrente is term-limited and will switch positions with his son, incumbent Vice Mayor Voltaire Ricafrente, who in turn will be opposed by former mayor and incumbent provincial administrator Renato Abutan.

Her announced opponents are former city Business Permits and Licensing Office head Allen Reyes and former municipal councilor and three-term provincial board member Cesario "Jun" Del Rosario Jr., who recently is an editor and deputy chief of reporters at CNN Philippines.

Incumbent mayor Emmanuel "Manny" Maliksi is running reelection as a result of an alliance forged between his camp and the camp of his perennial rival, Homer "Saki" Saquilayan, who will instead run for provincial board member. Astillero, a well-known nuisance candidate, is also running for mayor.
