JACKSON, Wyo. — Town of Jackson and Teton County electeds were sworn into new terms as the first week of 2021 kicked off.
At the town level, Jackson was going to have a new mayor regardless of former Mayor Pete Muldoon choosing to vacate his seat for one on the town council. Hailey Morton Levinson will be that new Jackson mayor, outpacing challenger Michael Kudar, who launched a write-in campaign in the primary to get his name on the ballot in the general election.
The two open town council seats went to Jim Rooks and Jessica Sell Chambers.
These individuals will join existing Town Council members Arne Jorgensen and Jonathan Schechter on the Jackson Town Council. The group’s first meeting takes place on Monday evening January 4, 2021.
The Board of County Commission saw no change. Both incumbents—Natalia D. Macker and Greg Epstein—held their seats. Behind them, the race was close between the two Republicans Pete Long and Christian Beckwith.
A total of 14,787 voters cast a ballot in November’s election out of 15,966 registered voters for a 92.6% turnout; the most votes ever tallied in Teton County for any election.
