Donald Culliver (born November 5, 1951) is an american politician of the Democratic Party and the current mayor of Mansfield, Ohio. He was elected mayor on November 6, 2007 and was inaugurated on December 1, 2007. Culliver is the first African-American mayor of Mansfield.[1]
[edit] Political life
His 2007 run for mayor was his first run for public office. He won 41% of the vote with a margin of 4,862 votes defeating Republican Doug Versaw with only 32% of the vote with a margin of 3,820 votes and Independent William Anliker with only 27% of the vote with a margin of 3,159 votes.[2]
However, on February 25, 2008, Culliver endorsed Illinois Senator Barack Obama for president, saying, "If we are going to make a better future for America, we need a leader who isn't invested in the political food fights of the past." [3]
