Councilman Taylor

My husband will be one of Murray’s new councilmen, starting in January, thanks to the 1,624 people who voted for him yesterday. I covered the Murray City Council when I worked at the Ledger & Times, so I’m excited in a nerdy way in addition to the typical supportive wife way.

It was a 24-person race for 12 at-large seats. Here were the top 12 vote-getters who will represent city residents …

Danny Hudpseth – 2,547
Jason Pittman – 2,176
Dan Miller – 1,970
Robert Billington Jr. – 1,904
Linda Cherry – 1,837
Jeremy Bell – 1,757
Pat Scott – 1.681
Greg Taylor – 1,624
Pete Lancaster – 1,605
Don Elias – 1,580
Jay Morgan – 1,564
Amos McCarty – 1,500

Greg had the highest vote totals among the four non-incumbents. If I were writing a story, that would be my lead.
