WAITSBURG—Waitsburg 2019 City election results were certified at the April 18 council meeting with no council seat changes from the preliminary results.

The only minor “upset” is that longtime council frontrunner Kevin House, who was one vote shy of retaining his spot as top-vote getter in the preliminaries, gained enough vote to hold his title.

Final vote counts are; Kevin House (216), Kate Hockersmith (213), Terry Jacoy (197), James Romine (190), K.C. Kuykendall (170).

First-time filer Pam Chapman landed just two votes short of Kuykendall with 168 votes and new candidate Jim Elgin received 128 votes.
