Haag reelected mayor in Wyoming

Vern Haag was reelected mayor of the city of Wyoming on Tuesday, beating back a challenge by Joe Zerwas. But incumbent Councilman Paul Raduenz was not as fortunate at the polls.

While Haag was scoring a win at the ballot box, Raduenz was handed a defeat. He finished third in a four-candidate field that produced winners for two four-year council terms.

Haag turned back Zerwas 833 to 691 to claim his second two-year stint as mayor.

In the city council race, Martin English, head of the cityís EDA, was the top vote collector at 702 votes to win a four-year term.

Finishing second in the race was Ted Phillips who picked up 665 votes to secure his four-year term on council.

Raduenz was third and out of the running with 563 votes.

A wild card in the race was Jason Hopkins. Hopkins filed for the Nov. 5 but had indicated he was no longer a candidate. His name remained on the ballot, however, and Hopkins received 393 votes on Tuesday.
