Lisa Jacobson officially elected Brooklyn Park mayor
Lisa Jacobson.
Brooklyn Park’s next mayor has officially been chosen.
After initial results from the Aug. 10 special election showed a one-vote difference between the top two candidates, Lisa Jacobson and Hollies Winston, and a recount on Thursday doubled the margin to two votes, the Brooklyn Park City Council officially certified the results on Monday, making Lisa Jacobson the city’s next mayor.
She’ll be sworn into office on Monday at city hall.
Jacobson’s election creates a city council vacancy for the east district that will be filled in a special election. A date for that will be set at a later time.
