The 2018 Little Rock mayoral election took place on December 4, 2018, following the general election on November 6, 2018. Incumbent Mayor Mark Stodola declined to seek re-election.[1]
Five candidates ran to succeed him, including former State Highway Commissioner Frank Scott Jr., former School Board member Baker Kurrus, and State Representative Warwick Sabin. In the general election, Scott placed first with 37 percent of the vote, followed by Kurrus with 29 percent and Sabin with 28 percent. Because no candidate received 40 percent of the vote, a runoff election took place between Scott and Kurrus.[2] In the runoff election, Scott defeated Kurrus by a wide margin, winning 58 percent of the vote, and becoming Little Rock's first Black mayor.[3]
