On the morning after the April 1 election, Hull said that what he thinks resonated with voters was his history in the city, dedication to serving the community and his commitment to public service.

“It was just exciting to see that our message was received,” Hull said. “It was very gratifying.”

Hull’s campaign emphasized collaboration between board members and took aim redevelopment sites such as the Charlestowne Mall and former police department.

Vitek’s campaign touted the city’s debt reduction and thriving development during her term.
