HARTINGTON — The national trend to oust the incumbents carried down to local politics Tuesday.
Hartington voters decided in the Nov. 2 General Election to bring in a new Mayor and North Ward City Councilman. Randolph voters decided on a new Mayor, as well.
Dwayne Schutte defeated incumbent Randolph Mayor Neil Kluver for a four-year term as the city’s chief executive.
Hartington Mayor Bills Yates, who was seeking a second term in office, was ousted by Brad Peitz. Peitz had never sought or served on an elective board prior to this election.
Peitz earned a 328–296 advantage over Yates to earn the four-year term on the board.
Gerald Thoene, who was seeking his third term on the board, faced a similar fate, losing 208–88 to political newcomer Cody Christensen.
Peitz defeated Yates in the Early Voting tallies, formerly known as Absentee Ballot, 41–29. He won the North Ward 147–129 and won the South Ward 140–138.
