The 2023 Warren mayoral election took place on November 6, 2023, following a primary on August 8, 2023. Following an amendment to the city charter in 2020, incumbent mayor James R. Fouts was term-limited and ineligible to seek re-election.[1]

Background

Incumbent Mayor James R. Fouts attempted to seek a fifth term, but was barred from doing so by a 2020 amendment to the city charter. Fouts attempted to challenge the legality of the amendment and filed for re-election, but the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the amendment and disqualified Fouts.[2]
