Voters in the City of Bowie overwhelmingly re-elected G. Frederick Robinson as mayor on Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to unofficial results. He received 4,164 votes for 63.9 percent of ballots cast in the race.

All city offices were up for election, and every race is contested.

City Council winners are: District 1 - Esteve, District 2 - Polangin, District 3 - Glass, District 4 - Trouth.

Results are not in yet for the two at-large council seats. The city said on Twitter about 9:30 p.m that Henri Gardner and James Marcos were ahead for the at-large positions.
