Mayor Judith Magee withstood a write-in challenge in Tuesday’s election, but Clintonville voters ousted at least two of the aldermen on the ballot.
Magee defeated Tricia Rose 584-302 to earn a third term.
“Having served four years, there is nothing more satisfying to watch democracy in
action in its truest form,” Magee said. “Getting out to mark a ballot is a freedom
that not all enjoy and a right for which we should be thankful. As we move forward I
will follow the city motto, work together to provide service for individuals,
families and businesses of today and tomorrow.”
Incumbents Al Miller and Steven Kettenhoven lost to former aldermen in District 1 and 3, respectively.
Jim Krause defeated Miller 133-62. John Wilson defeated Kettenhoven 79-62.
The third alderman on the ballot, Mike Hankins, tied with challenger Mary Beth Kuester 100-100 in District 4. It was not clear late Tuesday how the winner would be decided.
Gloria Dunlavy in District 2 and Jeannie Schley in District 5 were re-elected without opposition.
