Fidler earned 518 votes or 58.66 percent, while Berry was held to 365 votes or 41.34 percent of the vote.

I appreciate the trust placed in me, and I look forward to serving and doing my best to represent our community well. This journey has been humbling, and I am thankful for the opportunity to move forward together," Fidler said.
