The 2020 Oakland County Executive election was held on November 3, 2020. Long-time County Executive L. Brooks Patterson died on August 3, 2019, and Ferndale Mayor David Coulter, a Democrat, was appointed to serve out the remainder of Patterson's term. Two elections were held on the same day: one for the remaining two months of Patterson's term, and one for a full four-year term. Coulter defeated County Treasurer Andy Meisner in the Democratic primary and faced former State Senator Mike Kowall, the Republican nominee, in the general election. Coulter defeated Kowall by a wide margin, becoming the first Democrat to be elected County Executive.
