GOP voters want Martin to retain place on council

Incumbent tops Werden in county’s only primary race

Alderman Bill Martin will likely keep his seat as a Fourth Ward alderman on the Morris City Council.

Martin won Tuesday's primary election between him and fellow Republican candidate Lori Werden. The unofficial results show Martin winning by 18 votes.

"I am very humbled and appreciative of the voters who made it out to vote in this terrible weather," said Martin. "I will do my best to continue to work hard for the citizens of Morris."
