He defeated Republican incumbent Mayor Jack Cavanagh, Jr. by a wide margin. Before his election, Joines had served as deputy assistant city manager. Joines had been named as a possible challenger to Congresswoman Virginia Foxx in North Carolina's 5th district in the 2006 election, but declined to enter the race. In the 2012 North Carolina gubernatorial election, many suggested Joines as a potential candidate in the Democratic primary, but he declined, stating that there was still work he wished to do in Winston-Salem.〔 (updated December 12, 2012)〕 In the 2013 election, Joines was challenged by Gardenia Henley in the Democratic primary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joines easily beats Democratic challenger Henley )〕 His Republican opponent, James Knox, dropped out of the race in August after it was revealed he had used a racial epithet to refer to an elections worker, although his name was still on the ballot. Joines was elected to his fourth term in the general election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joines re-elected as mayor; incumbents retain council seats )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allen Joines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
