Campaign

The major candidates were incumbent mayor Carolyn Goodman, an independent, and councilman and mayor pro-tempore Stavros Anthony, who was affiliated with the Republican Party.
A major item of debate was a attempt by Goodman to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to the city's downtown with a taxpayer-funded stadium. Stavros had been an outspoken critic of the project, and had opposed the project in the 4–3 City Council vote in favor of it.
Anthony's campaign spent more than $280,000, while Goodman's campaign spent more than $755,000.
