Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:ElectionsCT The 2021 Stamford mayoral election was held on November 2, 2021. Incumbent Democratic mayor David Martin sought re-election to a third term in office, but lost renomination to state representative Caroline Simmons. Simmons, who was also endorsed by the Independent Party, faced unaffiliated candidate Bobby Valentine.

Initial results indicated Simmons had a huge lead over Valentine. Absentee ballots swung heavily in Simmons' favor resulting in a 5-points lead over Valentine. Following her election, Simmons became Stamford's first female mayor.

Democratic primary

On July 25, the Stamford City Committee narrowly voted to endorse Simmons over the incumbent Martin, with 21 members voting for Simmons and 19 voting for Martin. Shortly thereafter, Martin declared his intention to continue with his candidacy and force a primary. According to the Connecticut Secretary of State, Martin was required to collect 1,550 signatures, 5 percent of the total number of registered Democrats in the city. Martin collected over 3,000 signatures, guaranteeing a Democratic Primary.

The primary was held on September 14. The ballot also included elections for the Stamford Board of Representative District 5, and Stamford Board of Representative District 19. Simmons won in a landslide, earning a majority of support in all of city's 20 voting districts. Martin conceded the night of the primary and endorsed Simmons.
