After decades of public service, Antioch Mayor Larry Hanson s appeal for one last term to complete some work fell well short Tuesday, and the village will transition to new leadership.
Hanson was denied a fourth term as the top elected official by local attorney Scott Gartner, who entered the race last fall offering a fresh perspective.
With all but the late-arriving mail-in and provisional ballots counted, unofficial totals showed Gartner with 1,301 votes to 745 for Hanson. Stacy Ellis finished third with 321 votes. It was very evident this town was ready for a change, Gartner said Wednesday. He ll become the first new mayor in Antioch since Hanson was elected to the post 12 years ago.
