WASHINGTON (AP) — Andre Dickens won reelection as mayor of Atlanta on Tuesday, earning a second term.

The Atlanta mayor’s office is officially nonpartisan, but has been held by Democrats for decades. Dickens won the office outright with more than 50% of the vote, defeating three challengers. Prior to taking office in 2022, Dickens served on the Atlanta City Council and as the chief development officer for a tech-based nonprofit.
