Incumbent mayor George Fisher sought re-election for a fourth term and was successful, seeing off challenges from councillor James Petherick Jr. and former mayor George Allen. [1] There was a large number of protest votes cast against Fisher with many voters thinking he had been mayor for long enough as well as taking exception to him reneging on a pledge at the previous election that he would not stand again. As such, while Fisher was re-elected, his large majorities from previous elections was cut dramatically. [2]
