Incumbent mayor Jerry Brown did not seek reelection to a third term, instead opting to run in the 2006 California Attorney General election.

A 50% margin of the vote needed to be obtained by the victor in order to avoid a runoff being held in November. Dellums surpassed this margin by a mere 115 votes, thus no runoff was necessitated.
