Some new faces are coming to the Fulton City Council.
Mike West and Lauren E.H. Nelson defeated incumbents Valerie Sebacher and Rick Shiverdecker to win seats in Ward 1 and Ward 4, respectively, in Tuesday's municipal election, according to preliminary results from the Callaway County Clerk's office.
West received 133 votes (54 percent) in defeating incumbent Valerie Sebacher with 113 (46 percent) in Ward 1. Sebacher served one term.
West is returning to the Fulton City Council after previously serving for 14 years - five terms in Ward 1 and two terms in Ward 4.
"It feels very good - I wanted to serve the people," West said. "I'm happy to be back and looking forward to the next two years and bettering the city for our citizens."
Nelson, meanwhile, earned 107 votes (65 percent) in turning back Shiverdecker, who received 57 votes (35 percent). Shiverdecker was seeking a sixth term.
"I'm so excited," Nelson said. "I look forward to serving our ward and really getting a chance to serve the people."
