Declared
Fareed Abdullah, substitute teacher and candidate for City Council in 2009 and 2013[8]
Despite narrowly losing the primary day voting to Small by a count of 1,529–1,429, Gilliam was in the lead overall thanks to a substantial advantage on absentee ballots (694–209).[12] Small sought a recount, which was granted by a
state Superior Court judge.[13][14] However, little changed in the recount and the result was upheld.[15]
