Harrison wins city council seat, last council seat too close to call<\/p>\n

With the second release of preliminary election results at 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4, Lehi voters chose a change in leadership. Paul Binns, a local insurance agency owner, will be Lehi\u2019s next Mayor. He garnered 52.07% of the votes, against Paige Albrecht\u2019s 47.93%. However, Albrecht will retain her current City Council seat for the next two years.<\/p>\n

In the race for Lehi City Council, James Harrison earned 26.42% of the votes, but with the margin between Emily Lockhart and Rachel Freeman at a mere 39 votes in favor of Lockhart, that seat is too close to call at this time.<\/p>\n

Longtime educator Diane Knight will take the Aspen Peaks School Board Seat 1, and Seat 3 was won by Nicki Brammer, Seat 4 for Amber Bonner, Seat 5 for Jason Hart, Seat 6 for Jeanne-Marie Burrows, and Seat 7 for Jason Theler.<\/p>\n

Seat 2 is too close to call with Steve Sparti holding a single-vote lead over current Alpine School District board member Stacy Bateman.<\/p>\n
