Mayor Skip Hall has a new sidekick.
Second-year Councilman Chris Judd was selected by the City Council Jan. 21 to serve the next year as vice mayor.
Mr. Judd, who represents southeast Surprise residents in District 6, replaced District 1 Councilman Roland Winters in the position.
“I am honored and humbled that my colleagues have appointed me to represent Surprise as the vice mayor, and I am looking forward to my second on council year serving my friends and neighbors here in the great city of Surprise,” Mr. Judd said.
