Zika tops Suihkonen in only contest race for Tower council
TOWER- In the lone contested race for the Tower City Council, political newcomer Josh Zika bested Tom Suihkonen 111 to 76, to claim an open two-year seat on the council. Suihkonen had been appointed to the seat last fall to replace David Setterberg, who was promoted to fill a mayoral vacancy left by the resignation of Orlyn Kringstad. Setterberg, who was seeking election as mayor on Tuesday, garnered 168 votes.
Joe Morin was reelected to a four-year council seat with 168 votes, while Robert Anderson, who was recently appointed to fill a vacancy left by the death of council member Sheldon Majerle, won the other open four-year seat with 136 votes.
There were 288 registered voters as of 7 a.m. on Nov. 8.
