According to unofficial voting results with 31 of 32 precincts reporting, incumbent Anne Sundquist has been re-elected to Position 1 on the Magnolia City Council with 115 votes, or 57.9 percent, compared with opponent Dona Hunt, who has 84 votes, or 42.2 percent.

"I am pleased—I feel like we're going in the right direction," Sundquist said. "I'm glad I will continue to be part [of council]." In Position 2, John Bramlett has defeated incumbent Jeff Chumley with 106 votes, or 52.4 percent, and Chumley has 96 votes, or 47.5 percent. "I campaigned hard, and I guess the other opponent did too—it was a very close race," Bramlett said. "I have no ill feelings toward the gentleman. I'm going to do the best I can when I get into office. A lot of the people I talked to had concerns, and I'll address those during the appropriate time on City Council. The people have spoken, and it's time to move forward."
