After polls closed and results were announced Tuesday night, Beissel posted on her campaignâs Facebook page, âThank you for all the support, kind words and encouragement over the last several weeks. While Iâm excited to have brought home a win; Iâm even more excited that our community is ready for progress and positive change. I said Iâll fight for Ellsworth and thatâs exactly what I intend to do. Now the work begins!â
