Baldner won with 92% of the vote with 980 votes. Her opponent, Brennan Hills, received 87 votes.
Baldner said she is glad to have had a competitor like Brennan Hills because they provided a campaign that was civil and full of ideas. A very civil campaign and I am quite proud of that. So now it s just time to move forward it s time to really buckle down and talk about the issues and tell Quincy what the difference is. And I think voters are going to see a real difference in vision in leadership. So I am excited to get started, said Baldner.
