Pat Miner easily captured the Place 1 council seat, defeating opponent Justin Nichols by 1,200 votes. Miner captured 3,690 votes, totaling slightly more than 60 percent of the votes. "I'm very humbled to have had all the support from the community," Miner said. "It has been a great ride throughout the whole process and I'm humbled voters supported the platform issues."
