The 2019 Grand Rapids mayoral election took place on November 5, 2019, to elect the mayor of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This was the last election for mayor to take place in an odd-year after Grand Rapids voters approved Prop 1 in 2020, which moved city elections to even years, 57% to 43%.[1]
Incumbent Rosalynn Bliss faced a challenge from Daniel Allen Schutte, a local pastor and candidate for the 75th District of Michigan House of Representatives.[2] Bliss defeated Schutte in a landslide, securing a second term as mayor.[3]
