In 2009, she ran for Mayor of the City of Atlanta, but eventually lost to Kasim Reed in a runoff election. According to an investigation by the staff of the ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution'', campaign records show that the Georgia Democratic Party spent at least $165,000 to attack Reed's opponent, Mary Norwood, and contribute to an unprecedented eight percent jump in voters for the runoff held on 1 December 2009. Reed won the mayoral runoff election by about 700 votes after trailing Norwood in the general election by more than 7,000 votes. If she had been successful in her mayoral bid, Mary Norwood would have become Atlanta's first white mayor in 36 years. Norwood received 46 percent of the vote on Election Day, the largest proportion of all the candidates, but as no candidate received a majority (more than 50% of the vote), she entered a runoff election on December 1, 2009. However, Kasim Reed received more votes in the runoff, and, after a recount, Norwood conceded. Norwood campaigned on a platform of fiscal responsibility, and in a political advertisement she asserted that the city of Atlanta had misplaced $100 million. However, the city administration disputed the claim, explaining that $116 million was borrowed from the Watershed Management Department for city projects, and the money is being repaid by those departments. 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「Mary Norwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
