A pair of contested Reading City Council races — one in District 4 and one for council president — each went to the Democratic candidate Tuesday.
Donna Reed was elected as council president, while Ray Baker handily bested his Republican competitor, Gary Colby.
Two other races in Districts 1 and 5 saw Democratic candidates running uncontested. Vanessa Campos retained her seat on council, and will be joined there by Rafael Nunez.
