Donna Deegan (D), Daniel Davis (R) to face off in Jacksonville mayoral runoff
Jacksonville’s “elite eight” of mayoral candidates is down to a final two.
Democrat Donna Deegan and Republican Daniel Davis emerged from an eight-person field Tuesday night, and will square off in a May 16 General Election.
With 167 of 186 precincts and the early vote and mail vote tabulated, Deegan leads with 40%, a strong total but not the majority support needed to win outright. Deegan carried early vote, vote by mail, and Election Day turnout, despite Republicans dominating Tuesday turnout.
Davis has 25% of the vote, which is far behind Deegan but good enough to set up the second election in eight weeks.
Further back in the count are the other six candidates: former Senate Democratic Leader Audrey Gibson, Republican City Council members LeAnna Cumber and Al Ferraro, Republican former lawyer Frank Keasler Jr., independent Omega Allen and write-in Brian Griffin.
