At a special meeting of the McKinney City Council Monday, Justin Beller was declared the winner of the District 1 council seat after his opponent, Stan Penn, withdrew from the race.
Last week, Penn announced on social media that he was leaving the race, describing it as one of the “most difficult decisions in my life” and citing difficulties during the campaign as his reason for not continuing.
