He won with 415 votes, besting the incumbent, Linda Cox, who came in with 234.

The Trending 55 Newsroom asked the Mayor-elect what’s next.
Panasiuk also took the time to offer praise for his predecessor for her five years of service in the position.
The newsroom also reached Cox, who was very gracious in her defeat.
She also offered this advice for the incoming council…
