The 2022 Milwaukee mayoral special election was held on April 5, 2022, to elect the mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While the next regularly-scheduled date for a Milwaukee mayoral election is in 2024, incumbent mayor Tom Barrett resigned to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg.[1] The special election was the first open race for mayor of the city since 2004.

Municipal elections in Wisconsin are nonpartisan. A nonpartisan primary election, which was held on February 15,[1] determined which two candidates were listed on the general election ballot. Acting mayor Cavalier Johnson and alderman Bob Donovan advanced to the general election. Johnson handily defeated Donovan in the general election, becoming the first African American elected mayor of Milwaukee.[2]

Candidates

Advanced to general

  • Bob Donovan, Milwaukee alderman and candidate for mayor in 2016 (declared intent for potential special election; but not for a regularly scheduled 2024 election)[3][4]
  • Cavalier Johnson, Milwaukee Common Council president and acting mayor (declared intent for both potential special election and for regularly scheduled 2024 election)[1][5]
