SUMMARY: Ashby Foote won Jackson’s Ward One City Council race by eight votes, securing a fourth term and beginning his 11th year in office on July 1st. The race took over a week to finalize due to absentee ballots and a ballot mistakenly cast in the wrong ward, which was removed from the count. Foote defeated independent Grace Green and Democrat Jasmine Barnes, who came in close behind. Despite the tight margin, Foote expressed gratitude and confidence, while Green acknowledged the close results and appreciated her supporters. Election officials expect to certify results by the Friday deadline.
