FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Democrat Tom Henry has won a second term as mayor of Fort Wayne after a bitter campaign against a former Allen County councilwoman.
Unofficial results Tuesday showed Henry had 50 percent of the vote compared with 46 percent for Republican Paula Hughes. Independent candidate Haley Ahrendt had 4 percent.
The Henry-Hughes campaign was marked with negative campaign ads and threats by Hughes to sue Henry for accusing her of failing to pay taxes on a failed business.
Fort Wayne has had a Democratic mayor since 1999.
