There will be two new faces in Rugby city government following the Tuesday, June 9, primary election, as Robert St. Michel was elected mayor and Sara Radomski secured a seat on the city council representing Ward 2.

A majority of the incumbents found themselves running unopposed in Tuesday’s primary election.

St. Michel came out on top in the mayoral race, securing 451 of the total 563 votes. Former city council member David Scheibel received 73 votes while William Griffin received 35.

The only other contested race was on the city council in Ward 2 with Sara Radomski receiving 144 votes to Richard Srur’s 9.

City council members Neil Lotvedt, Richard Larson and Michael Santjer were re-elected without any challengers on the ballot. Jeffrey Stewart was elected to the Rugby Park Board with 474 votes against 79 votes for write-ins and Leo Adam Jr. was re-elected as municipal judge.

Both renewals were passed for funding for the public recreation system and Heart of America Library with 68% and 58% of the vote respectively.
