The Detroit mayoral election of 2009 took place on November 3, 2009. It saw the reelection of incumbent mayor Dave Bing.
The election followed a special election held earlier that year to fill the vacancy created when Kwame Kilpatrick resigned as mayor.
In the August 4 primary, Mayor Dave Bing captured nearly 74% of the vote. He and businessman Tom Barrow advanced to the November 3 general election.[1]
Bing's lower performance in the general than in the primary has been speculated to be due to decreased support from trade unions.[2]
