DiCicco defeats Gavin in Ward 6 election; Incumbents cruise in Starkville
By Isabelle Altman and Zack Plair 2 hours ago
Starting July 1, Ward 6 will have a new representative on the Columbus City Council.
Republican Jacqueline DiCicco unseated current councilman and Vice Mayor Bill Gavin in a landslide, 301-114, in the Republican primary for Ward 6. With no other candidates in the race, DiCicco will be unchallenged in the general election on June 8.
The Democratic primary for Ward 4 Columbus council seat is undecided with a 91-90 margin and up to three affidavit ballots still to be counted.
Former Ward 4 Councilman Marty Turner leads Pat Fisher Douglas by just one vote. Per state law, the Registrar’s Office must wait five days after the election to consider any mail-in ballots that come in, in addition to the three affidavits, meaning the race will not be decided for at least five days.

STARKVILLE It will be at least another week before voters in Ward 4 know who the Republican nominee is for their alderman seat.
Austin Check and Kevin Daniels are deadlocked at 92 votes each after in-person and absentee votes in that primary were tallied Tuesday.
City Clerk Lesa Hardin said four affidavit ballots need to be processed in that race, and by law the city must wait five days after the election on mail-in absentees that might still come in.
