On December 17, 2018, incumbent two-term Democratic mayor Pete Buttigieg announced that he would not seek reelection to a third term.[1] Speculation arose that Buttigieg was considering a run for President of the United States,[2][3][4][5][6] and Buttigieg would later announce his 2020 presidential campaign. The general election race to succeed Buttigieg as mayor was between Democratic nominee James Mueller and Republican nominee Sean M. Haas.[7] Mueller won the election.
The election coincided with races for the Common Council[8][9][10] and for South Bend City Clerk.[9][10][11]
