The 2013 Atlantic City mayoral election was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 5, 2013, to elect a mayor for the city of Atlantic City. Incumbent mayor Lorenzo Langford was seeking reelection to a second term. Langford was defeated by Republican Don Guardian, the resort town's first openly gay mayor.[1]
