There is a changing of the guard in Carlisle. The results so far have three new
City Council members for the City of Carlisle.
In the At Large Council Seat Chad Johnson defeated incumbent Dennis Bowles
with close to 65% of the votes. Dennis has served the City of Carlisle on
Council for 17 years.
In Ward 1, Carlisle has decided to "GO GREEN". Bryan Green has defeated Mary Ann
Thompson with 55% of the votes. It was a close race but Green pulled it out.
Mary Ann Thompson has served our City for 20 years in various roles in City Council
and as Deputy Mayor.
In Ward 2, Carrie Branson had served 10 years and stepped down to devote more time
to her family. With Ward 2 wide open for Sharon Shelton and Scott Boschert,
Boschert took the seat with 62% of the votes.
Ward 3 there was no change of guard. Randy Winkler kept his seat with a commanding
70% of the votes over Rich Smith.

Nothing can take away from the fact that Carrie Branson, Dennis Bowles and Mary Ann Thompson are among the very few that devoted so many years to serving their city of Carlisle. I want to be among the many who express heartfelt gratitude for their service. I believe the city has chosen three very competent new members of Council that will complement and enhance the decisions of all six Council people and Mayor Humphries. The future looks bright and I hope all Carlisle will continue to support these seven public servants in their endeavor to make Carlisle Ohio the most sought after place to work and live in all Warren County.
