2025 Mobile mayoral election

In the general election, state representative Barbara Drummond received 13,897 votes or 33.7%. Cheriogotis received 11,389 votes or 27.7%.

Cheriogotis hosted events such as a pickleball event at Pickle Rage indoor pickleball court in Mobile, grills, and a victory party during his campaign.

Because no candidate received a majority (50% or higher) of the votes, a runoff election was held on September 13. In the end, Cheriogotis won with 24,714 votes or 51.4% to Drummond’s 23,370 votes or 48.6%.

On November 3, 2025, Cheriogotis was sworn in as the 109th mayor of Mobile.
