2022 Raleigh mayoral election
Incumbent Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin Democratic
The 2022 mayoral election in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina , was originally scheduled to be held on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, but was delayed to November 8, 2022, by the passage of a law in June 2021.[1] [2] [3]
Incumbent mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin is seeking re-election to a second term in office.[4]
Background [ ] Incumbent mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin was first elected in 2019 , primarily running on a platform of affordable housing . She managed to pass an $80 million bond to fund the construction of affordable housing via ballot initiative in November 2020, though a similar proposal to fund the construction of public parks was abandoned due to the complications of the COVID-19 pandemic . Baldwin has faced criticism over perceptions of sacrificing affordable housing in favor of property developers and for her perceived mishandling of Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020 .[5]
