2016 Gainesville mayoral election

The 2016 Gainesville, Florida mayoral election took place on March 15, 2016. Incumbent Mayor Ed Braddy ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged by former City Commissioner Lauren Poe, a professor at Santa Fe College. Though the race was officially nonpartisan, Poe, a Democrat, received support from the Florida Democratic Party and benefited from high turnout in the presidential primary, while Braddy, a Republican, avoided partisan labels. Poe ultimately defeated Braddy in a landslide, receiving 57 percent of the vote to Braddy's 39 percent.
