Huntington County Tab:
Huntington County Republicans tossed out a sitting mayor in favor of a city council member who held his first city job while still in college.
Brooks Fetters, a four-year member of the Huntington Common Council, won 32.25 percent of the vote to win the Republican nomination for mayor. Steve Updike, a former city police officer who is completing his first term as mayor, finished fourth in the seven-man field with just 17 percent of the vote.
"We were all concerned with the good of Huntington," Fetters said of the other candidates. "I felt real positive with what I was hearing door-to-door. I want to help Huntington become the best version of itself it can."
