 Elected mayor

Laura Miller

The 2002 Dallas mayoral special election took place on January 19 and February 16, 2002, to elect the mayor of Dallas, Texas, after Ron Kirk resigned as mayor to run for the United States Senate seat up for election that year.

The race was officially nonpartisan. Since no candidate secured a majority in the first round, top-two finishers advanced to a runoff election, which Laura Miller won.
