Councilman Kevin McKeown was named Santa Monica Mayor pro tem Tuesday night.

McKeown will serve in the mayoral role when full-time mayor Mike Feinstein is unavailable. McKeown replaces Councilman Richard Bloom in the position.

“Thank you to the council and to our community for this opportunity to serve in an expanded context,” he said. “Our city and this city council have a lot of work before us, and I’ll help in any way I can.”
