DescriptionNon-partisan race
No June runoff was necessary as Whelan exceeded 50% in the May General.

In November 2000, voters approved a measure to make City elections partisan like other state and local elections, i.e. June primaries and November General election. This resulted in a shortened term for Whelan from his 1998 election.
