The 2015 Springfield mayoral election was held on April 7, 2015. Steven Reeds challenged incumbent Libertarian mayor Robert Stephens. Stephens was re-elected mayor of Springfield, Missouri by a margin of 27.46 percentage points. [1]
The incumbent is the current holder of an office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent(s). For example, in the 2017 Hungarian presidential election, János Áder was the incumbent, because he had been the president in the term before the term for which the election sought to determine the president. A race without an incumbent is referred to as an open seat.
The Libertarian Party (LP) is a political party in the United States that promotes civil liberties, non-interventionism, laissez-faire capitalism and shrinking the size and scope of government. The party was conceived at meetings in the home of David F. Nolan in Westminster, Colorado in August 1971 and was officially formed on December 11, 1971 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The founding of the party was prompted in part due to concerns about the Nixon administration, the Vietnam War, conscription and the end of the gold standard.
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town.
Stephens first became mayor of Springfield in 2012, taking the place of incumbent mayor Jim O'Neal after the latter's resignation. In 2013, Stephens ran for mayor with no opposition. He announced in 2016 that he would not run again in 2017. [2]
Resignation is the formal act of giving up or quitting one's office or position. A resignation can occur when a person holding a position gained by election or appointment steps down, but leaving a position upon the expiration of a term, or choosing not to seek an additional term, is not considered resignation.
