Fillmore is Back on Track
It was a clean sweep for Fillmore’s new candidates, with Mayor Gayle Washburn, Councilman Jamey Brooks, and City Clerk Clay Westling all swept out of office. New to the council are Rick Neal, Manuel Minjares, and Douglas Tucker. We also have a new City Clerk, Nancy Blendermann-Meyer, and a new city Treasurer, Shannon Godfrey. November 6 marked the end of the most bitterly contested city council campaign in city history. (Provisional votes to come.)
