2000 Fort Lauderdale mayoral election

The 2000 Fort Lauderdale mayoral election took place on March 14, 2000. Incumbent Mayor Jim Naugle ran for re-election to a fourth term. He was only challenged by Anthony G. Evans, Jr., a minister and pharmacy manager.

Naugle was endorsed for re-election by the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel. The Sentinel noted that "Naugle's brand of populism has played well with the voters of Fort Lauderdale," and the Herald observed that he "has taken a conservative approach to redevelopment, serving as a questioning voice even when he cannot build a consensus,"

Naugle ultimately defeated Evans in a landslide, winning re-election with 80 percent of the vote.
