Spiro Cheriogotis (R) defeats Barbara Drummond (D( in Mobile mayoral runoff election
Tuesday night, Mobile elected a new mayor for the first time since 2013.
Spiro Cheriogotis, a former prosecutor and district judge, defeated State Rep. Barbara Drummond (D-Mobile) in a runoff election that marked the end of the city’s most competitive mayoral race in recent history.
Drummond won the August 26th general election with 33.7% of the vote, but Cheriogotis turned the tables on Tuesday night, ascending to Mobile’s highest office with the backing of three-term incumbent Sandy Stimpson.
With 95% of precincts reporting, Cheriogotis holds a lead of 24,714 votes to 23,370 over Drummond, or 51.40% to 48.60%.
