Robert Smith
In a statement he released through his campaign email, Smith addressed rumors he might drop out of the race due to an undisclosed health condition that hospitalized him briefly on Feb. 21. Since then he has been recovering from home, and Vice Mayor Bill Gavin, who represents Ward 6 on the city council, has led day-to-day city operations.
“Good afternoon. I want to take a moment to officially announce to the citizens of Columbus that I am not withdrawing from the mayoral race,” Smith said in his email. “Rather, I am again seeking re-election to the office of Mayor of the City of Columbus.”
