For a town that only has two traffic lights and one grocery store, this year’s election stirred up much conversation over the fall season. Six spots for city council were available and no more than nearly 1,000 votes were cast for each opponent. Local barber and city council candidate, Wade Mitchell, fell short by a mere two votes. David Riel, Andy Bathje, Leonard Fitch, Jim Brumfield, Kim Deyer and newcomer Wesley Metcalfe each received at least nine percent of the vote and will serve on Wilmore’s city council.

“Wilmore is now wet. I don’t know if anyone saw it coming. The city council has taken steps to mitigate this fact, to try to take it off the table post-facto by making things as expensive and difficult as possible so nobody ever wants to sell alcohol in Wilmore. But what we’re doing is making it so that nobody local can do a nice, sit-down restaurant in Wilmore.” [Currently, only Dollar General sells beer in town.] –Wade Mitchell
