Incumbent mayor Andrew Gillum decided to focus his campaign on the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election instead of seeking reelection thus opening a new seat. A blanket primary was held on August 28 with John E. Dailey and Dustin R. Daniels receiving the most votes.[1] Because neither the candidate received a majority, a run-off election was held on November 8. Dailey defeated Daniels by a close margin of 51% to 49%.[2]
