William “Kent” Hannant had no political experience when he joined the race for Jacksonville’s Ward 3 alderman.
“It was something I always talked about doing,” the 50-year-old Hannant said, “but I was always that guy that didn’t like everything that went on in politics.”
Hannant is now one of three newly elected first-time aldermen. He was sworn in April 26 and will experience his first City Council meeting as an elected public official on May 10.
The journey has been a whirlwind for Hannant, who received the exact number of votes in the April 6 election, 169, as the incumbent, Brandon Adams. The winner had to be determined by a card draw supervised by the Morgan County state’s attorney and county clerk.

AUGIE’S MONTREAL DELI Reopened Jan. 13 in the former Brennan’s space is Augie’s Montreal Deli, purveyor of poutine, “smoke meat,” Fin du Monde and all good things French-Canadian just ask the grateful Quebecois in line. Fans of the nearly three-year-old deli may not be able to gather in the new dining room to watch ice hockey just yet, but the location, already a well-loved space in the Berkeley community, is a bit more foot-traffic-friendly for takeout than the old spot on Potter Street. Curbside service for online orders is available by driving up to the Stomper statue out front and calling the restaurant. (Pro tip: Parking on Sundays under the University Avenue overpass is free.) Bienvenue, Augie’s!
