The 1967 South Bend, Indiana mayoral election was held on November 7, 1967.

This is the last time that a Republican has won a South Bend mayoral election.[1][2]

Nominations[edit]

Republicans re-nominated incumbent mayor Lloyd M. Allen.

Democrats nominated Eugene Pajakowki, who had unsuccessfully sought their nomination four years earlier.[3]

Two independent candidates were also running.[4]

General election[edit]

Allen was endorsed by The South Bend Reformer newspaper.[4]

Allen won a strong reelection,[3] winning by a 10,000 vote margin.[4] Allen received strong support from the city's African American wards.[4] Allen even received a surprising number of votes in the heavily-Democratic 2nd and 6th wards.[4]

General election results[4]
Party Candidate Votes %
Republican Lloyd M. Allen (incumbent) 58%

Allen's victory had an arguable coattail effect, with Republican City Clerk nominee Cecil Blough winning his race.[4]
