Update on the election results and the council vacancy appointment ( now 4 candidates)

Nov 12, 2023

The latest unofficial election results as of 11/8/23 at 9:50 pm. The official results will not be available until late November.

On November 9th I reported on the City Council's selection of the six candidates they will interview on November 13th in order to fill the council seat open due to the sad and sudden passing of Councilor Tonya Briggs.

One of the candidates, David Fridland, looks to have won a seat in the election. He will no longer be interviewed.

Riley Hager has withdrawn.

The remaining candidates and their interview times:

5:30-6:00 Richard Welty

6:00-6:30 Joanne Graham

6:30-7:00 Annette Rausch

7:00-7:30 Withdrawn

7:30-8:00 Saul Tapia Vega
