Looks like the Mayor won't face reelection 'till 2029 - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Springfield,_Missouri_mayoral_election" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Springfield,_Missouri_may...

  And everyone will have forgotten about this by then anyway. That's like a million years in terms of elections.

    Maybe. Off-year municipal elections tend to low turnouts, and those who do vote - especially in smaller municipalities - are not stereotypical disengaged Americans.
    But more interesting:
    - Is there a recall process for mayor?
    - Wikipedia calls the current mayor a businessman. Is that a local business, which people can vote their pocketbooks against?
