Tallahassee Mayor

Ten women’s groups hosted a mayoral candidate forum Monday night on issues of importance to women and girls. Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey and Leon County Commissioner Kristin Dozier took questions on issues such as domestic violence, human trafficking and child care.

The Tallahassee mayor’s race is going to a runoff. Current Mayor John Dailey and Leon County Commissioner Kristin Dozier are separated by just half a percent, and it’s likely an already bitterly fought race will only grow more contentious between now and November.

Election Day Tuesday could decide who wins several local races outright, but it probably won’t see the end of some of the Tallahassee and Leon County candidates’ bitter legal challenges.

Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey is fending off three challengers as he seeks a second term. They are three-term Leon County Commissioner Kristin Dozier, Michael Ibrahim and Whitfield Leland III.
