Congratulations to Matthew Marchant

Congratulations to Matthew Marchant for winning the Mayoral election. We are looking forward for his leadership, while appreciating the work done by our former mayor Ron Branson.

I believe there will be run off elections as none of the candiates in place 2 and 4 has secured over 50%

Place 2 - Bonnie Kaplan and Anthony Wilder
Place 4 - Bob Garza and Cathy Henesey
