GALVESTON
Over the past two years, Craig Brown has gone from councilman, to mayor pro tem, to acting mayor.
After Tuesdayâs runoff election, Brown is mayor-elect.
Brown defeated Roger âBoâ Quiroga, 3,726 to 3,182 votes in the runoff election, capturing almost 54 percent of the ballots, according to complete but unofficial results.
Although general election outcomes set the stage for a complete city council turnover, incumbents held to their positions in Districts 3 and 5.
âIâm very excited and Iâm happy to assume the role of the mayor,â Brown said. âIâm looking forward to bringing everybody together and to continue to move the island forward. Iâm ready to hit the ground running.â
