"Jacksonville's Mayoral Election: Who Will Come Out on Top?"
TL;DR
Voters in Jacksonville, Florida, will elect a new mayor today in a contentious race between Republican Daniel Davis and Democrat Donna Deegan. Deegan led in the first election with 39% of the vote to Davis’ 25%, but the runoff race is expected to be close. Policing has become a central issue in the campaign, with Davis framing Deegan as anti-police and Deegan accusing Davis of intentionally mischaracterizing her. The candidates also differ on whether tax dollars should be used to remove a Confederate monument and how to address police and fire pensions.
