Criticism of City Council

Shortly after being selected as mayor on January 4, 2016, Mike Signer became the target of activist Jeff Fogel who questioned how and why he had been chosen. Former City Council candidate Paul Long questioned the amount of money raised by Signer for the election. Signer spent $51,305 in the general election compared to $28,632 spent by Wes Bellamy and $23,081 spent by Kathy Galvin. [1] Bellamy defended Signer. Fogel tried to respond but was ruled out of order. [2] [3]

Campaign for Commonwealth's Attorney

In 2017, he ran for the Democratic nomination for Charlottesville's Commonwealth's Attorney.[4] He lost to Joseph D. Platania.
