Running for her third term as mayor of Trotwood, incumbent McDonald faced off against Page, who is the city’s vice mayor. Both Page and McDonald are Democrats. This is round two of McDonald v. Page for Trotwood’s top seat, as the two ran against each other in 2019, with Page losing by a very slim margin.
