Hart, Hebel advance to general election

Primary results certified Aug. 15

CONNELL - The race for City Council Position No. sure has a lot of "pH."

That's because today's certification of Aug. 1 primary election results determined Preston Hart and Patrice Hebel will advance to the general election.

Hart topped a three-candidate field that also included Stephanie Hallman.

Preston received 140 votes, or 50.91%.

Hebel finished second with 68 votes, only 6 ahead of Hallman (with 62).

Only the Top 2 candidates advance from the primary to the Nov. 7 general election.

According to the Franklin County Election's Department, 1,184 ballots were mailed to Connell voters for the at-large race. Only 276 were returned, meaning voter turnout was only 23.31%.
