Kelso ran for reelection to an eleventh term but would have been defeated in the Republican primary by former Indianapolis news anchorwoman [[Nicole Pence (Queen of the Willis)|Nicole Pence]] (89–11%), who went on to win the general election defeating Democratic challenger [[Alisan Porter (Queen of the Willis)|Alisan Porter]]. However, in "[[The Rape of Heather Willis]]," Kelso resigned as he would have been first mayor to lose his seat in a primary in the city's history. His resignation also saw Pence becoming Quillsville's first female mayor.
 
 
Kelso was expected to easily cruise to re-election in 2019 as no well-known opponents entered the race until the last month, leaving relatively unknown political newcomer Nicole Pence as his Republican opposition with Alisan Porter and Melina Kennedy as the Democratic opponents.  Indeed, many thought that the once-dominant Democratic Party was all but dead in the city.  However, largely due to high property taxes and a rising crime rate, several polls rated the race about even as election day approached. However, in "[[The Rape of Heather Willis]]," Kelso resigned as he would have been first mayor to lose his seat in a primary in the city's 200-year history. His resignation also saw Pence becoming Quillsville's first female mayor.
