(Spencer)– The Spencer city council is gaining two new members following Tuesday’s elections.
The only contested race was the Ward Five council seat. Long-time incumbent Jim Roling was challenged by Ron Hanson for the seat that has held for the last 32 years. That challenge proved successful for Hanson, who defeated Roling on a vote of 138 to 110.
The Ward One council seat was also up for grabs. Incumbent Steve Waller was running unopposed until George Kruger decided last week to start a write-in campaign for the seat. The campaign proved successful for Kruger, who defeated Waller by more than 40 votes. The final tally was Kruger with 91 votes and Waller with 54.
