In all likelihood, Akron residents will know who their next mayor will be by the end of Tuesday night.
The Democratic primary features seven people on the ballot: Mark Greer, Shammas Malik, Keith Mills, Tara Mosley, Joshua Schaffer, Marco Sommerville and Jeff Wilhite.
Mosley, who is also on the city council, believes she relates to citizens better than the other candidates. "My life experience, I've been on the city council. I've been president of city council. I've been the planning director, and now I'm senior adviser to the mayor," Sommerville said. The candidates ahead in the recent poll said they support a request by Congresswoman Emilia Sykes calling for a Department of Justice investigation of the Akron Police Department."If I want people to leave with nothing else, it's that we will work every day to make Akron safer," Malik said.
