Barbara Fitos, a former Marion County commissioner, lost to Guinn, 40.9 percent to 59.1 percent.
According to Fitos, she did not feel Guinn was fit for the position. She indirectly accused him of being a racist after Guinn recognized Confederate Memorial Day as an official city holiday.
Tyrone Oliver and Ira Bethea are set to go head to head in a runoff election on November 19, for Ocala City Council district 2.
