The 2020 St. Louis County Executive special election took place on November 3, 2020. On April 29, 2019, County Executive Steve Stenger resigned following a federal indictment for bribery and fraud. The County Council elected Council Chairman Sam Page to serve as County Executive until the 2020 special election. [1]

Page ran to serve out the remainder of Stenger's term. He faced a competitive Democratic primary, with challenges from 2018 candidate Mark Mantovani and County Assessor Jake Zimmerman, and won the primary with a 38 percent plurality. In the general election, he was challenged by Paul Berry III, the Republican nominee, who previously ran for the office in 2018. Page won re-election in a landslide, receiving 58 percent of the vote to Berry's 36 percent.
