Wellington County has two new mayors after Monday’s municipal election.
In the Township of Puslinch, firefighter James Seeley unseated incumbent and Wellington County’s current warden, Dennis Lever, in a nail-biter with unofficial results showing Seeley winning by 35 votes.
Gregg Davidson’s victory in the Township of Mapleton was a little more convincing after he defeated Neil Driscoll by over 400 votes.
Most of the mayoral races in Wellington County were a one-on-one battle, except for the Township of Erin which saw incumbent Allan Alls defeat two opponents.
