Nancy Lehman, a candidate for Baldwin City Council, has defeated Mark Mullinax to claim the city’s Post 2 council seat.
Between Habersham and Banks counties, Lehman earned 55.24% (569 votes) to Mullinax’s 44.76% (461 votes).
Post 2 was vacated by former councilman Joseph Satterfield in July.
Lehman, a resident of Baldwin for nearly 20 years, is a retired executive with GTE (now Verizon Wireless), where she worked for more than a decade. She’s been married to her husband, Ted, for 27 years. Together, they have three children and three (soon-to-be four) grandchildren.
“I’m thrilled to have been elected to Baldwin City Council,” Lehman said Tuesday, Nov. 5. “First, I want to thank my husband, Ted, for his unwavering support. My thanks to all the people who worked on my behalf, those that endorsed me and of course all the folks who voted for me. I look forward to doing my part for the citizens of Baldwin.”
