Preliminary Seward city council election too close to call

Preliminary results for the Seward City Council and mayoral elections show incumbent Mayor Sue McClure reelected to another term, and one candidate with solid standing for a council seat. The results for the second council seat in contention are so close that the official results may show differently than those posted Tuesday night.

McClure retains her seat after having received 260 votes. Challenger Leighton Radner received 30, and Timothy McDonald received 21. There was also one write-in vote.

In an email to Homer News Tuesday night, McClure wrote, “I am truly humbled by the trust the community has placed with me! I will spend the next three years doing my best (to) keep Seward moving forward!”

City council candidate Lori Draper was elected to one of the available seats after bringing in 215 votes.
