He had formally filed papers to run in the 2026 mayoral election on July 10.
Hugley spent more than four decades working for the City of Columbus, the last 20 years as the city manager.
He had announced his intention to retire at the end of the year, but not before he was fired by city council in a late-night, closed session on May 27.
City council had voted 7-3 to terminate Hugley.
Prior to his firing, he had threatened legal action against six city councilors – Byron Hickey, Toyia Tucker, JoAnne Cogle, John Anker, Charmaine Crabb, and Glenn Davis.
Hugley held his announcement ceremony at Warehouse 9 near 10th Avenue.
The election will be held on May 19, 2026.
