Clugston will serve second term, new faces elected to city council
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Mayor-Elect Ted Clugston calls the 2017 civic election his ‘redemption’.
“This says to me that ‘yeah, we gave you a chance the first time we elected you mayor but we kind of maybe liked the job that you did and we’re going to give you another go at it’,” he said after making his speech Monday night at the Beveridge Building downtown.
At 9 o’clock Monday night, CHAT News declared Clugston would serve a second term as mayor.
Numbers show Clugston had more than 56 per cent of the vote, coming in well ahead of former alderman John Hamill.
