For the first time in its 130-year history as a city, Mansfield elected its first-ever Black mayor Tuesday.

Bethlehem Baptist Church Pastor and former Mansfield school board trustee Michael Evans, Sr. won the runoff election with nearly 54% of the vote, according to the city's website.

Brent Newsom received 46% of the vote. He currently serves on the City Council.

Evans and Newsom received the most votes in the Nov. 3 general election, although neither had more than 50% of the vote, officials said.

The runoff race was a special election after Mayor David Cook resigned to run for the Texas House seat vacated by Rep. Bill Zedler, according to city officials.
