Justin Wilson would be the first to tell you that his term as mayor has not gone as planned. When Wilson was elected in 2018, after defeating former Mayor Allison Silberberg in the 2018 Democratic primary by 1,259 votes, he did so assuming that the biggest challenge he would have to face was the planned shutdown of the city’s Metro stations in summer 2019. “I think the good news is we handled the adversity of that well,” Wilson said. “… All of that was great, but then, obviously, there’s been a couple other things that have happened in the last two and a half years.”
