Based on the results of Saturday’s election, city of Amarillo voters showed that they wanted consistency both on the city council as well as who was named the city’s Mayor.
According to unofficial results from the Election Administration Offices for Potter and Randall counties, Amarillo Mayor Ginger Nelson, Place Two Councilmember Freda Powell, Place Three Councilmember Eddy Sauer and Place Four Councilmember Howard Smith were all re-elected for their respective positions.
“I am very pleased that voters have seen the work that we have done. We have been working for four years, and now they have said, let’s go two more years,” Nelson said. “I’m hopeful that we can use the next two years to get a lot of things done in the city. The message that I have heard over and over today from being at the polls is, ‘Thank you for the progressive way you are leading the city. Keep moving forward.’ We will do that.”
