Ben Schachtman: So, Nikolai – lots of people were watching the Wilmington city council race, but you’ve been telling me there were some pretty competitive races across the river as well. Let’s start with Leland. How did the race for town council go this year?
Nikolai Mather: So we had two seats open this year, and one incumbent – councilmember Bill McHugh – running against four political newcomers. And it looks like McHugh actually lost his seat this year. He came in third place following Frank Pendleton and Leland Hyer.
BS: Wow. I know that the town council elections for Leland are nonpartisan, so you can’t necessarily place these candidates in traditional Democratic/Republican categories. But what do you think these results might indicate about Leland?…
