While Owensboro Mayor and Commissioner races are non-partisan, we have several active Democrats running to serve Owensboro.

City Commissioner Pam Smith-Wright has thrown her hat in the ring for the mayor’s office for the second time. If elected, she would be the city’s first woman and first African American mayor. Smith-Wright is in her sixth term as city commissioner. She’s also the longest serving woman on the city commission and acts as the chairperson for the Owensboro-Daviess County Veterans Organization.

Her promise is to "Listen, Learn, Question, Communicate, Help."
