Results are in from Tuesday's municipal elections.
In Greensboro, incumbent Mayor Nancy Vaughan cruised to a third term, defeating challenger Diane Moffett. In complete but unofficial results, Vaughan won with more than 60 percent of the vote, a feat she also accomplished during the primary last month.
Jay Wagner defeated Bruce Davis to win the High Point mayoral race in one of last night's closest contests. The seat was open following Mayor Bill Bencini's decision not to seek re-election.
In Forsyth County, John Wait won the race for mayor of Clemmons, fending off a write-in campaign by former village manager Larry Kirby. Two-term Mayor Nick Nelson decided not to seek re-election. Incumbent mayors in Kernersville, Lewisville and Tobaccoville ran unopposed.
In Charlotte's mayoral race, Vi Lyles handily defeated Kenny Smith, becoming the first African-American woman to run North Carolina's largest city. And In Raleigh, unaffiliated incumbent Nancy McFarlane won a fourth term as mayor of the state's capital city.
Winston-Salem did not have municipal elections this year. The city started having elections on even years last year.
