2002 Dallas mayoral special election

The 2002 Dallas mayoral special election took place on January 19 and February 16, 2002, to elect the mayor of Dallas, Texas. It was triggered after Ron Kirk declared his intent to resign as mayor so he could focus on running in the 2002 United States Senate election in Texas.

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