2022 Pensacola mayoral election

The 2022 Pensacola mayoral election took place on August 23, 2022, to elect the mayor of Pensacola. Local entrepreneur and businessman D. C. Reeves was elected during the primary by earning the majority, 7,682 votes (51.11%), against three opponents, Jewell Cannada-Wynn, Sherri Myers and Steven Sharp. Because Reeves earned the majority in the primary, there was no runoff on November 8, and Reeves took office on November 22, when incumbent Mayor Grover C. Robinson IV stepped down after one term. At age 38, Reeves became the youngest Pensacolian to hold the office in 101 years.
