There were many Findlay City Council races in the May 6 Primary Election and a lot of new faces.

City Council has three At-Large members.

Current At-Large city councilmembers Grant Russel, Randy Greeno, and Jeff Wobser did not seek reelection.

Five Republicans were vying for those three spots to be on the ballot in the General Election in November.   

Unofficial results from the Hancock County Board of Elections show that Heather Kensinger, L. Reed Needles, and Bradley Wagner were the top three vote-getters.

Jenny Fall, a Democrat, was unopposed in the primary and automatically advanced to the fall ballot.

In the First Ward, the race between Nichole Coleman and Holly Frische was very close with Coleman winning 258 to 246, or 51.19 percent to 48.81 percent.

In the Second Ward, BJ Preston defeated Michael Gentry by garnering 63 percent of the vote.

In the Third Ward, Carol Smith defeated Patricia Klein with 57 percent of the vote.

In the Fourth Ward, Daniel DeArment ran unopposed.

In the Fifth Ward, Brian Bauman defeated Kimberly Meador with 57 percent of the vote.

In the Sixth Ward, Rodney Phillips defeated Haydee Sadler with 64 percent of the vote.  

In the Seventh Ward, Danny DeLong defeated Brody Yingling by a vote of 303 to 276.

There is the possibility that one of the primary winners could face a write-in challenger in the fall and the deadline to file is August 25.

All results are unofficial until certified by the board of elections.
