The 1991 Toledo mayoral election took place on November 5, 1991, to elect the mayor of Toledo, Ohio. Incumbent Mayor John McHugh ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged by anti-tax activist Paula Pennypacker. McHugh campaigned on his Toledo values, noting that he was "practical and down-to-earth" and "a Toledo kind of person," while Pennypacker argued that city government needed "fundamental changes."[1]
In the primary election, Pennypacker only finished 31 votes behind McHugh,[2] but in the general election, McHugh won in a landslide, receiving 59 percent of the vote.[3]
Following the adoption of a charter amendment on November 3, 1992, which converted the city government from a council–manager government to a strong-mayor government and extended mayoral terms to four years,[4] the 1991 election was the last mayoral election for a two-year term.
