A low-key campaign for Savannah mayor ends Tuesady with residents choosing among six candidates, including two with mayoral experience.
Incumbent Mayor Otis Johnson is seeking a second term in office, relying on his record, prominent endorsements and a hefty campaign war chest.
His predecessor, however, is seeking a third term in office. Former Mayor Floyd Adams, Jr. is running on his record, saying Johnson is taking credit for initiatives that he started.
Most political observers, however, are betting on a Johnson re-election. Whether that comes with or without a run-off is in doubt. Four other candidates could split the vote on Tuesday, giving either Adams or former Chatham County Commissioner John McMasters, another run-off contender, a one-on-one chance at the Mayor.
McMasters has run his campaign based on change, saying neither Mayor can claim success.
Also running are James Dewberry, Yusuf Shabazz and Jerry Sammons.
