The most anticipated outcome of the 2021 Spring Hill Election was which candidate would take the seat in Ward 3, the only contested race, over the next four years.
The winner, after all the votes were tallied Thursday at City Hall, went to incumbent Kevin Gavigan, who received 1,477 votes over competitors Brent Murray, who garnered 439 votes, and Angela Privett, who drew 910 votes.
Gavigan s platform, which he said goes back to his first term in 2015, has been about staying focused on getting the city s major road and infrastructure projects completed, including the upcoming Interstate 65 interchange at Buckner Road, as well as road widenings at Buckner Road and Buckner Lane.

Technical glitch leads to hand vote-count
Due to a technical glitch that impaired the computers that typically tabulate election results, members of the Maury County Election Commission, including Jason Whatley and Maury County Election Administrator Todd Baxter, were forced to count the ballots by hand using addition machines and calculators and triple checking, Whatey said.
Once the results were tabulated by hand, the final calculations were handwritten on a large white sheet of paper and posted on the back wall of the board room at Spring Hill City Hall on Thursday.
The results showed that voter turnout in Spring Hill could exceed 8%, a goal of retiring mayor Rick Graham, who tried to raise the turnout through a pie-in-the-face challenge to the community.
