Haymarket is welcoming five non-incumbent candidates to their town council after the Tuesday, May 19, election, including Kenneth Luersen who will be mayor.
Luersen beat out incumbent David Leake by 13 points. Leake has served as mayor since 2012.

In addition to the mayor’s seat, there were six positions open on the town council and ten candidates competing for them. Here’s who won:
- Tracy Lynn Pater
- R. Marchant Schneider
- Joe Pasanello
- Robert Weir
- Chris Morris (Incumbent)

The new councilmembers will take their seats on July 1.
