DICKINSON, Texas – Sean Skipworth was elected Thursday night as the new mayor of Dickinson after an unusual finale. His name, which was scribbled on a white ping pong ball, was selected out of a hat.
After the general election in November, Jennifer Lawrence and Skipworth, both vying to be the next mayor of Dickinson, advanced to a Dec. 15 runoff, which ended in a tie. A recount Tuesday confirmed that each candidate received 1,010 votes of the 2,020 votes that were cast.
