In 1982, the two-term limit on the mayoralty was removed (leaving no limits on the number of terms).[2] This enabled Hudnut to run for a, previously prohibited, third term.
Top prospective Democratic candidates declined to run, and Hudnut ultimately faced John J. Sullivan, a newcomer to political campaigning.[2]
