The 2007 Flint mayoral election was held on November 6, 2007, with the primary election occurring on August 7, 2007. Incumbent Mayor Don Williamson ran for re-election. He faced a crowded field of opponents, and received less than one-third of the vote in the primary election, winning just 33 percent of the vote. Community activist and businessman Dayne Walling placed second over City Councilman Sheldon Neeley, winning 23 percent of the vote, advancing to the general election against Williamson. Williamson narrowly defeated Walling, 51–49 percent, to win a second term. However, fewer than two years into Williamson's term, he would face a recall election, which he resigned to avoid, which ultimately led to Walling's election in a 2009 special election.
