DOTHAN, Ala. (The Dothan Eagle) — Voters have chosen to replace Houston County Schools' current superintendent.

The Dothan Eagle reported Republican Brandy White received 58.5%, or 4,714 votes Tuesday, while Republican incumbent David Sewell got 41.5%, or 3,338 votes, in the superintendent race.

White, the assistant principal at Webb Elementary School, has said he ran for the seat because he felt the district needed a change in leadership.

Sewell will continue in his role until White takes over on Jan. 1.
