Durham\u2019s new mayor-elect Elaine O\u2019Neal cruised to an easy victory in Tuesday\u2019s municipal election.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former judge soundly beat City Council Member Javiera Caballero, who suspended her campaign in early October. O\u2019Neal announced\u00a0she would enter the race in January and has been a favorite ever since. She will be the first Black woman to serve as the city\u2019s mayor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Election Day saw big wins for the two City Council incumbents running to retain their seats. DeDreana Freeman won in Ward I, and Mark-Anthony Middleton won in Ward II. Both had <\/span>decisive victories in the primary<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ward III race<\/span><\/a> — a contest with no primary and no incumbent — was the one to watch. Restaurant owner and former teacher Leonardo Williams jumped out to a strong lead when early in-person votes posted as polls closed, but the margin narrowed as Election Day results came in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although community organizer AJ Williams trailed behind, Bill Withers\u2019 hit \u201cLovely Day\u201d still played at his Durham Central Park pavilion watch party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to see what the people want tonight. I really believe that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m hoping that\u2019s me\u2026 I feel like there\u2019s a lot at stake\u2026 and it will be good to see who bubbles to the top.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, however, the bubbles settled in his opponent’s favor. AJ brought in more votes cast on Election Day than Leonardo, but Leonardo ultimately won by more than 600 votes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRunning for office is an exhausting, deeply gratifying experience,\u201d AJ said while watching the election results Tuesday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incumbents DeDreana Freeman and Mark Anthony Middleton held onto their City Council seats, winning with large margins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turnout appeared to be considerably down in Durham this year. Only 30,231 ballots were cast in the mayoral race this year as of 10 p.m., a strong drop off from the city\u2019s last two municipal general elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just under 36,000 voters cast ballots in the 2017 mayoral election, and nearly 35,000 did so in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

O’Neal’s supporters at the Rickhouse in downtown Durham erupted into applause as former Durham mayor Bill Bell introduced the city\u2019s newest leader. \u201cThis is the moment we\u2019ve all been waiting for,\u201d Bell said. \u201cThe young lady we\u2019re going to be hearing from tonight is the epitome of style, esteem and intelligence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Neal, wearing a black dress and a huge smile, took the stage to greet her supporters. Not all the votes had been counted at that moment, but O\u2019Neal\u2019s victory was resounding. \u201cI\u2019m humbled by your support,\u201d she said, \u201cand grateful to be the next mayor of our fine city.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Neal said her highest priority is public safety. That\u2019s the issue many of her supporters care about most. \u201cWe need a police force,\u201d one voter said. \u201cA real one, not one with 20 empty slots.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He trusts O\u2019Neal to address Durham\u2019s public safety needs because she understands policing and, more importantly, she understands the community. \u201cElaine knows the streets,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Neal\u2019s supporters also want to see her improve Durham\u2019s affordable housing infrastructure and public school system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Steve Schewel congratulated O\u2019Neal on her victory. \u201cShe\u2019s going to do a great job,\u201d he said. \u201cI know she\u2019ll be able to really bring this city together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Things were more subdued at Durham Central Park, where AJ Williams supporters gathered.<\/p>\n

When it was clear he narrowly lost, supporters offered empathetic embraces him. He then took to the dance floor to deliver a speech to the crowd of roughly 40 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can do this again!\u201d he told the crowd, which erupted in cheers, and began chanting \u201cWe love you! We love you!\u201d<\/p>\n

The music started playing again, and AJ joined a group of supporters starting a shuffle on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeonardo is great,\u201d said Pierce Freelon, the current Ward III member who had endorsed AJ. \u201cI know Ward III will be in good hands regardless of the outcome…It\u2019s important to have someone with roots in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
