Snowflake and Taylor have Town Council terms expiring and those elections were held August 2.
For Taylor, four seats or the seven seats were being filled. Six residents made the ballot. Sherry Cosper led all candidates with 438 votes. Rounding out the three other successful candidates were Bill Baldwin, Jason Brubaker, and Lynn Dewitt. These four will take their seats on the counsel in January. Cosper, Baldwin, and Brubaker are all incumbents. The two individuals that were not elected are Jack Babb and April Williams.
In Snowflake, Byron Lewis defeated Bob Flake 583 to 466 to be the next Mayor. Both men were on the Snowflake Town Council earlier this year and resigned to run for Mayor. The current Mayor, Lynn Johnson, did not seek reelection.
In addition to the mayor being elected, three Snowflake residents ran for two open council seats. Incumbents Greg Brimhall and Cory Johnson defeated Lauri Wong to retain their seats.
The town councils will need to canvass and certify the vote to make it official. These results are based off numbers provided by Navajo County. For several years now, the county has ran the election for the towns.
