Warsaw’s common council seats will continue to have some familiar names, along with one new face.
Josh Finch will be that new face in District 2, defeating Chris Plack by 22 votes. Finch, in an e-mail to News Now Warsaw, said after his victory, “I’m grateful for the support I received tonight. I am excited to get to work to serve district 2 and the city. It was a very hard fought race. Chris and I were grinding right down to the last day. He is a great man, and I am pleased to have gotten to know him through this campaign. I met a lot of wonderful people along the way and developed a few new friendships.

Throughout the rest of county, Paula Kehr-Wicker will be the Syracuse Clerk-Treasurer.
