What were the results?
Four candidates were competing for three seats on the Indianola School Board. Dr. Ryan Welling received 1,857 votes, Bradi Darah got 1,679, and Mack Rankin received 1,647 votes. Though it was very close, Josh Lawrence only received 1,643 votes, putting him in fourth place and he will therefore not take a seat on the board.
Jeanette Campbell was running unopposed to finish the term vacated by Rob Keller. She secured that seat with 2,173 votes.
In Indianola’s only contested city council seat, Brad Ross came up short with 339 votes to Ron Dably’s 445 votes.
Where do we go from here?
Local elections really do matter. Warren’s Voice is committed to that position. That’s why we spend so much time providing quality information about the candidates. Our posts recieved hundred and hundreds of views and attracted a lot of attention. Many of the races were closer than expected, proving that informing the voters is very important.
The fight continues! Our community is very important to us and even after the election we still have a role in holding officials accountable and being involved in the process.
