2022 Long Beach, California, mayoral election
(Redirected from 2022 Long Beach, California mayoral election)
The 2022 Long Beach mayoral election was held on June 7, 2022. Because no candidate reached 50% of the vote, there was a runoff election on November 8, 2022. Although incumbent Mayor Robert Garcia was eligible to run for a third term,[1] he opted to run for the U.S. House instead (and won that seat).[2][3][4] Rex Richardson was elected mayor, defeating Suzie Price.
