FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan has announced that he will run for reelection in hopes to be voted in as mayor for a fourth time.
Jordan made the official announcement on Facebook on Jan. 20.
Since being voted in as mayor for the first time in 2008, Jordan has ran for reelection and won each race in 2012, 2016, and 2020.
Before assuming his long-term role as mayor, he was elected to Fayetteville's City Council in 2000 and reelected in 2004.
In his latest announcement, he said he is running for reelection because the "work is too important to stop now."
"Let’s continue our progress – from holistically addressing housing insecurity to expanding our workforce training and childcare assistance programs, and from meeting the community’s public safety needs to modernizing our infrastructure, all while ensuring Fayetteville continues forward with a balanced budget," he wrote.
Jordan said much of his campaign for the 2024 election will be based on his record as mayor.
According to her website, Rawn is "responsible for the organization’s $4.8 million budget and 19 full-time employees."

If elected mayor, Rawn said she plans to focus on access to affordable housing, quality education, reliable transportation, and city services and partnerships between government, local businesses, higher education, and community organizations.
