Growth minded Holcomb council members set to take office

After a tight race 339 ballots were counted, with Newman finishing first and Davis second. Newman spoke of continuing a progressive growth path, addressing truck traffic, beautification, and safety projects with Sunflower Electric’s expansion and Highway 50 work looming. Davis emphasized transparency and public access as the new council prepares for impact of sales tax, traffic shifts, and budget cuts. Newcomers McCallister Matheson and others express readiness to tackle upcoming city issues and support the transition.
