I'm surprised at how many informed people I've talked to who don't realize there's a runoff election for Springfield mayor coming up this Tuesday (2/22).
Turn out will be low, which usually favors candidates with a better get-out-the-vote operation. Republican Mike Coffey will probably finish first since he's the only candidate with the backing of a major party organization. That result won't necessarily hold true in the general election when more people vote and more political groups pick a candidate.
