Andre Dickens Elected Atlanta Mayor in Runoff Election
------------------------------------------------------

The city of Atlanta has elected a new mayor. Andre Dickens defeated
Atlanta city council president Felicia Moore in a run-off vote that came
after outgoing Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she would not run for a
second term. Dickens, who is African-American, has vowed to tackle
Atlanta's housing crisis, as well as unemployment, racism, and public
safety.
