Dumfries voters have spoken, re-electing Shaun Peet, Russell Young, and Brian Fields to the Town Council in a tight race that saw two incumbents retain their seats. The three winners edged out challenger Ebony Lofton, a familiar face in local politics who previously ran for Mayor in 2022.
Shaun Peet, who garnered the most votes with 939 (26.17%), credited his focus on long-term projects, including his “main priority,” the town’s new recreation center. “I want this center to stand for decades, giving our kids and seniors a place to come together,” Peet said outside the polls. “As a Council member, I’m always going to do what’s right for this town, all the time.”
