The 2022 Augusta, Georgia mayoral election took place on June 21, 2022, following a primary election on May 24, 2022. Incumbent Mayor Hardie Davis was term-limited and could not run for re-election. A crowded field emerged to succeed him, with nine separate candidates running. In the primary election, former County Tax Commissioner Steven Kendrick narrowly placed first, winning 39.4 percent of the vote to businessman Garnett Johnson's 38.8 percent. Because no candidate received a majority of the vote, Kendrick and Johnson advanced to the general election. In a low-turnout election, Johnson narrowly defeated Kendrick, winning 53–47 percent.[1]
