Cedar Rapids, IA (AP) Former television news anchor Tiffany O'Donnell has been elected mayor of Cedar Rapids. O'Donnell garnered 68% of the vote to businesswoman Amara Andrews' 32% in Tuesday's runoff election. The runoff was triggered when no candidate reached a majority 50% of the vote in the Nov. 2 general election. O'Donnell will take office in January at the end of incumbent Mayor Brad Hart's term. O'Donnell is a former news anchor for television station KGAN and is chief executive of Iowa-based women's leadership group Women Lead Change.
