The Unofficial final returns are in. This election produced an incredible Farragut turnout. During the Early Voting period 1500 votes were cast. Election day produced 959 votes.
Here are the numbers:
Mayor
Eddy Ford 1448 votes / 58.89% of the votes cast
Bill Johns 1011 votes / 41.11% of the votes cast
Alderman – Ward I
Ron Honken 424 votes / 38.76% of the votes cast
Tom Rosseel 670 votes / 61.24% of the votes cast
Alderman – Ward II
Vice-Mayor Mike Haynes 792 votes / 63.61% of the votes cast
Ron Rochelle 453 votes / 36.39% of the votes cast
A couple of interesting notes (from my perspective):
12o voters only voted in the Mayors race and not in the Alderman contest.
Vice-Mayor Mike Haynes is the most popularly elected official in the Town of Farragut. He has coattails that can benefit anyone that runs for elective office that encompasses the boundaries of the Town. He instantly becomes the go-to guy in Farragut.
A new comer Tom Rosseel is elected to an Alderman position (vacated by Connie Rutenbur) garnering a greater percentage than career incumbent Mayor Ford.
