The city of Glencoe had three council seats on the ballot in Tuesday’s election. There will be one new council member as of Jan. 1 as former city employee Allen Robeck defeated incumbent Lori Adamietz in the at-large councilor race, 902 votes to 609. Precinct 3 incumbent Gary Ziemer was returned to another term with 284 votes to challenger Marie Thurn’s 164. John Schrupp, running unopposed in Precinct 2, was re-elected with 344 votes.
In the McLeod County District 2 Commissioner race, challenger Doug Krueger successfully unseated incumbent Kermit Terlinden 1,290 votes to 997.
Brownton will have a new mayor Jan. 1, as current Council Member Norman Schwarze was elected mayor with 181 votes to candidate Sarah Potts’ 51. Doug Block was returned to his council seat with 191 votes, while former mayor and council member Curt Carrigan earned 184 votes. Carrigan will replace incumbent Chuck Warner, who did not file for another. Current Mayor Jay Werner also did not place his name on the ballot.
