ST. GEORGE St. George appointed its first female mayor in the southern Utah city s 159-year history on Tuesday.
Michele Randall, a member of the City Council for the past several years, will serve the remainder of former Mayor Jon Pike s term until the election in November after Pike accepted a position in Gov. Spencer Cox s administration. St. George is an amazing place to live and we want to keep it that way, Randall said in a statement. I m ready to hit the ground running. I don t think we will miss a beat.
She will be sworn into office on Thursday.
