The 2015 Grand Rapids mayoral election took place on August 4, 2015. Following a 2014 change to the city charter, which adopted a two-term limit for mayors, incumbent Mayor George Heartwell was unable to seek a fourth term. [1] City Commissioner Rosalynn Bliss defeated former State Representative Robert Dean in the primary election, winning 66 percent of the vote, eliminating the need for a runoff election, and became the first female Mayor of Grand Rapids.
