The 2022 Milwaukee mayoral special election was held on April 5, 2022, concurrent with Wisconsin's spring general election, to elect a new mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, following the resignation of mayor Tom Barrett in December 2021.[1] Acting mayor Cavalier Johnson, who had been president of the common council when Barrett resigned, won the election, receiving 71% of the vote and defeating alderman Bob Donovan. Johnson became the first African American elected mayor of Milwaukee.[2]
Municipal elections in Wisconsin are nonpartisan. A nonpartisan primary election was held on February 15, 2022,[1] in which the top two vote-getters advanced to the April general election. This special election was the first open race for mayor of Milwaukee since 2004.
