Ebling got 41 percent of the votes cast and ran in a runoff against Nino Haase, who was not part of the party. In the runoff election on November 10, Ebling received 55.2 percent of the vote and was thus confirmed for a second term.

During Ebling's tenure, the completion of the new tram route to the Lerchenberg ("Mainzelbahn") in December 2016, the planning of a new shopping center in the city center of Mainz, as well as a new building area at the Zollhafen and the Heilig-Kreuz area , fell among other things . In addition, the city of Mainz's first referendum to build the so-called Bibelturm, an extension of the Gutenberg Museum, was made during Ebling's tenure. In April 2017, the city council decided to build on Liebfrauenplatz . A citizens' initiative spoke out against the construction and reached the decision for a referendum, which was carried out in April 2018. A majority of 77.8% decided against the construction, which was approved by the city council and the mayor. The realization of the development of the former Generalfeldzeugmeister barracks with an area of ​​almost 10 hectares in the Upper Town of Mainz , which has been planned since 2015, has so far still encountered resistance due to the use of the Bundeswehr and desired areas for Biontech . During Ebling's tenure, it was also decided to build a sewage sludge incineration plant in Mainz-Mombach, which should be completed in 2020.
