Alan Swank found out that he defeated incumbent Athens City fourth ward Councilmember Chris Fahl in the May 4 primary election while he was enjoying a meal with a friend who drove in from Granville simply to support him on the big night.
He received an outpouring of texts and phone calls from his supporters to congratulate him on the victory. The past few months have been busy, after all. When you spend a good three months totally immersed in something like this, it s like a 24-inning baseball game that s supposed to be nine, Swank said.
According to unofficial election results provided by the Athens County Board of Elections, Swank received 184 votes to Fahlâs 98.Â
