The 2021 New Haven, Connecticut, mayoral election was held on November 2, 2021. Incumbent mayor Justin Elicker won reelection.[14]

### Democratic primary

[edit]

Justin Elicker was renominated.[15][16][17]

In late July, three developments occurred, which left Elicker without an opponent in the primary. Karen DuBois-Walton, the CEO of Elm City Communities (the city's public housing authority), who had been running a campaign for the nomination, withdrew from the race.[18] Mayce Torres, a two-time aldermanic candidate, who was running in the Democratic primary, switched over to the Republican primary.[19][20] Elena Tej Grewel, who had previously formed an exploratory committee for a prospective run, announced that she would not be running.[21] Before DuBois-Walton's withdrawal, it had been anticipated the primary contest between Ellicker and her would have been competitive.[22]

### Republican primary

[edit]

In July 2021, Mayce Torres, who had previously been running for the Democratic nomination, announced that she would instead be running for the Republican nomination.[20]
