Incumbent Satya RhodesConway was elected to a second term as Madison mayor Tuesday, defeating challenger Gloria Reyes comfortably in a race defined by housing concerns and public safety.

With 99% of precincts reporting, Rhodes-Conway led Reyes by 11 points. The race was called for Rhodes-Conway less than two hours after polls closed.

At her campaign watch party, Rhodes-Conway thanked her supporters and her partner for their support, and vowed to continue working to address housing affordability, the climate crisis, public safety and the creation of equitable investment in her second term.

Rhodes-Conway told The Daily Cardinal her victory served as an “affirmation” of her agenda in her first four years in office.
