Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson became the first black mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after winning the special mayoral election Tuesday night.

Johnson, 35, became the city’s acting mayor after former Mayor Tom Barrett accepted President Joe Biden’s nomination as the U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg last December. Johnson will serve the remaining two years of Barrett’s term.
