BREAKING NEWS: Official mail-in ballot counts are in and we have a major change in Exeter!
Despite leading by four votes after votes were tallied on Election Day, Exeter's Dan Patterson lost his bid for re-election, falling to challenger Bob Johnson by a final tally of 1,474-1,469. That means Johnson will join the quartet of incumbents Arlene Hicks, Cal Ellis, Raymond Morrisey and William Monahan in his return to the council.
