The 2022 Norman, Oklahoma mayoral election was held on February 8, 2022, to elect the next mayor of Norman, Oklahoma. Since there was no candidate that received a majority of votes in the initial round of the election, a runoff election was held. In the runoff election, incumbent Democratic mayor Breea Clark was defeated by Republican Larry Heikkila.[1][2]
Heikkila opposed mask mandates and other COVID-19 measures, while Clark had supported them.[3]
All Norman municipal elections are required to be non-partisan, but candidates can be affiliated with a political party.
