The 1985 Burlington mayoral election was held March 3, 1985. Bernie Sanders, the incumbent mayor, won with 56.1% of the popular vote against Brian D. Burns and Diane Gallagher.
Bernard Sanders is an American politician who has served as the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2007. The longest-serving Independent in congressional history, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990 and caucuses with the Democratic Party, enabling his appointment to congressional committees and at times giving Democrats a majority.
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 Hungarian presidential election, 2017, 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.
Brian D. Burns is a former Vermont political figure who served as Lieutenant Governor.
