The Sopchoppy City Council recently selected Colleen Skipper to serve as Mayor.   The small North Florida municipality operates under a weak mayor form of government and the Council annually elects one of its members to serve as Mayor.

Skipper was first elected to the Council in 2001and has served as Vice-Mayor since 2004, under long-term Mayor Robert Greener.  With this appointment, history was made with Ms. Skipper becoming not only the first woman to serve as Mayor but also as the first black mayor of this municipality.  Councilman Richard Harden was selected to serve as Vice-Mayor.
