A race that began with four candidates was narrowed down to two on Nov. 3.
In a Dec. 8 runoff for the seat against Theresa âTerriâ Deans, Hart prevailed with 602 votes (57.6%) to Deansâ 444 (42.4%). The council canvassed the results Tuesday evening.
Since Aug. 17, when she filed her application, Hart has attended city council meetings in person to become familiar with the process, should she win.
âI wanted to see it in action, because the only thing Iâd been watching was videos,â Hart said Tuesday.
After each council meeting, recordings are uploaded onto the cityâs website and the cityâs YouTube channel.
