On the same day the United States celebrated its first federally-sanctioned Juneteenth, the City of Beaumont elected its first Black female mayor.
Three-term former Ward IV Councilwoman Robin Mouton will be Beaumonts next mayor and the only woman on the Beaumont City Council. She was elected with nearly 52% of the votes.
Robin, you are Black history, someone shouted from the crowd as Mouton gave a speech after the final results were in.
The race was close with fewer than 4 percentage points separating Mouton and candidate Roy West. But as results trickled in Saturday night, Mouton led the whole time from early returns to the final tally.
Mouton couldnt be reached for comment to The Enterprise after results were in. But she addressed supporters at a victory party at the MCM Elegante Hotel shortly after results came in.
Im back my councilmen, she said. I have a new chair.
