Incumbent Mayor Bob Carr ran for re-election to a third term.[1] Carr was challenged for re-election by City Commissioner Wally Sanderlin, contractor Carl T. Langford, and businessman Ed Wilson. In the primary election, Langford placed first,[2] winning 39 percent of the vote ot Carr's 32 percent, Sanderlin's 28 percent, and Wilson's 1 percent.[3] Langford and Carr advanced to a runoff election, which Carr narrowly won, receiving 51 percent of the vote to Langford's 49 percent.[4]
