Harrison, Platt win Cambridge council seats

The Cambridge City Council will seat two new members in January following the results of voting on Nov. 5.
 Voters had a choice of three candidates on the ballot to fill two city council seats up for election. The top two vote-getters won the council seats.
 Levi Harrison pulled the most votes with 74 votes (39.7 percent), followed by Delray Platt with 66 votes (35.4 percent). Trailing in third place was former Cambridge mayor Nanette Rhodes, who received 46 votes (24.7 percent).
 The two incumbents on the four-member city council whose seats were up for election did not  seek re-election.
 The unofficial numbers from the county clerk’s office showed a turnout of 55.7 percent in Cambridge. The city council race was the only item on the ballot.

The number of registered voters in Cambridge totaled 190, which included eight residents who registered on election day.  
 Of those, 106 cast ballots in the election. Cambridge has only one precinct and all the voting was conducted at city hall.
 Two years ago, in 2017, there were 179 registered voters in Cambridge and 104 went to the polls for a turnout of 58 percent.
 State law required the county to also run a municipal election in Midvale, although there were no contested races for mayor or city council.
 Incumbent mayor Brian Graham was re-elected with 26 votes and faced no challenger. City council members Katie Bane and Phyllis Widner both were re-elected without opposition.
 There were 27 ballots cast in the Nov. 5 election out of 114 registered voters in the city of Midvale, which represented a voter turnout of 23.6 percent.
