2011 Akron mayoral election 
 
The 2011 Akron mayoral election  was held on November 8, 2011. Incumbent Democratic Mayor Don Plusquellic  ran for re-election to a seventh term, after defeating a recall attempt in 2009 . He was challenged in the Democratic primary by City Councilman Michael Williams, and won by a wide margin.[ 1] [ 2] 
Plusquellic would not serve out his full term, however. He announced on May 8, 2015, that he would not seek an eighth term in 2015  and that he would leave office early on May 31, 2015, citing among other reasons unfavorable press coverage from the Akron Beacon Journal [ 3]
