In its 136 years, Golden Valley has never had a Black mayor— but that will change when Roslyn Harmon is sworn in next month. Harmon, a 47-year-old Black woman who runs the nonprofit Dispute Resolution Center, was the first person of color to run for mayor in Golden Valley, which is roughly 80 percent White. Harmon beat her opponent, Gillian Rosenquist, by 26 votes.
