Salisbury Mayor Karen Alexander has died.
The city released a statement Monday announcing her passing, remembering Alexander as a “dedicated public servant whose leadership and vision guided the city toward a brighter future.”
Alexander was first elected to the Salisbury City Council in 2013. She became mayor in 2015, then was elected to a second, separate term she began in 2020.
The Salisbury Post reports Alexander had stepped away from some of her public duties in October following a cancer diagnosis. She was 73.
