Lori Miner wins council election

Lori Miner will remain on the Hill City Common Council after emerging victorious from yesterday’s election, the lone city council race in this spring’s election.

Polls stayed open until 7 p.m. as voters in Ward 2  chose between Miner, the incumbent, and challenger John Johnson for alderman. 

Miner received 39 votes while Johnson received 13. 

“Thank you to everyone who came out to vote in this election,” Miner said. “I am so pleased that so many people turned out for the only election in town. I look forward to continuing the work on the difficult issues before the council.”
