Incumbent Andy Ezard will remain Jacksonville’s mayor for at least four more years after being re-elected Tuesday.
Ezard retained his seat with 1,601 votes against Nicole Riley, who received 366 votes roughly 81% to 19%.
“This will be my fourth term as mayor, and I think it is a bold statement by the citizens of Jacksonville to re-elect me,” Ezard said.
Now that he has been re-elected, Ezard said he wants to continue to build on many of the good things he and the other council members, as well as community organizations have started.

Passavant Hospital’s CEO has concerns about vaccination hesitancy among some of the age groups.
Passavant continues to offer COVID vaccinations in clinics at the hospital.
Passavant CEO Dr. Scott Boston says the clinics worked well with the older set.
Boston says more than 70-percent of the Morgan County population over 65 have had their shots.
Dr. Boston says availability is not an issue, and Morgan County now has the Johnson one shot vaccine along with Pfizer, and Moderna.
Boston says health officials are trying to understand the hesitancy.
Dr. Boston says ethnic groups, such as Spanish and French speaking, and African Americans, has a reluctance to get the shots, because of mistrust.
