Justin Bibb And Kevin Kelley Move On In Cleveland Mayoral Race

(Cleveland) -It will be Justin Bibb, a non-profit agency exec, and Cleveland City Council President Kevin Kelley for the chance to replace outgoing Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson. Bibb and Kelley secured the most votes in Tuesday's Cleveland Mayoral primary propelling them toward a showdown in the November election.

The unofficial final results, according to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections:

  • Justin Bibb, 10, 635 votes, 27.14%
  • Kevin Kelley, 7,597 votes, 19.39%
  • Dennis Kucinich, 6,481 votes, 16.54%
  • Zack Reed, 4,.724 votes, 12.06%
  • Basheer Jones, 4.640 votes, 11.84%
  • Sandra Williams, 4,478 votes, 11.43%
  • Ross DiBello, 632 votes, 1.61%

Bibb told Newsradio WTAM 1100 on election night his victory is a sign that voters want change in this year's election. If elected, he says he'll make City Hall more responsive, and he'll try to make Cleveland one of the nation's best mid-sized cities.

In his speech to supporters, Kelley said there were people who said he couldn't win, but he believes he will move forward because of the message he and his supporters put together. He says he wants to deal with issues such as the digital divide.

Former Mayor Dennis Kucinich failed in his bid to return to the office he held in 1978 and 1979.

Zack Reed, who lost to Mayor Frank Jackson in 2017, says he fought a valiant fight, but just simply didn't do enough.

Either Bibb or Kelley will be next mayor of Cleveland, succeeding Frank Jackson, who has served 16 years as mayor.
