AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Atlanta on Election Day
October 28, 2025
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is running for reelection against three lesser-known candidates, arguing that the city has seen major improvements during his first term in office. Dickens was an underdog when he first ran for mayor in 2021, but he’s in a much more favorable position as he seeks a second term on Tuesday. Dickens’ campaign is far outspending his challengers, and the ad-tracking firm AdImpact says he has been the only candidate on air in Atlanta. The city has a long history of awarding second terms to mayors who seek them.
