Meanwhile, three people were elected to Harrison City Council. Henry Menninger and James Robertson took two of the seats easily with 31.5 and 23.9 percent, respectively.
The third council seat was won by Mark Louis by a far slimmer margin of 34 votes over Judy Kercheval, 22.5 to 22 percent.
Voter turnout in the City of Harrison was very good. Over 52 percent of the city’s 6,044 voters cast a ballot.
