Ferguson residents voted to add two African Americans to the City Council,
a move that diversifies an elected body that was overwhelmingly white in a
city with a majority-black population.
.
Ella Jones, Brian Fletcher and Wesley Bell captured three seats on the
Ferguson City Council. Jones and Bell are African-American, while Fletcher
is white. The six-member council will now have three black members for the
first time in its history.
.
Jones won nearly 50 percent of the vote in a four-way race that also
featured Adrianne Hawkins, Mike McGrath and Doyle McClellan. Fletcher
captured about 57 percent of the vote against Bob Hudgins. And Bell took
in nearly 67 percent against Lee Smith.
.
Eric Fey, the Democratic director for the St. Louis County Board of
Elections, told St. Louis Public Radio reporter Jo Mannies that the
turnout on Tuesday was around 30 percent. That surpasses recent municipal
elections in Ferguson and nearly doubles the roughly 16 percent turnout
in the rest of St. Louis County.
.
Bell said he was heartened by the sturdy turnout especially since prior
elections had featured dismal voter participation.
.
"We knocked on doors. We were all about community outreach and staying
positive. And it brought out the highest turnout in the history of Ward
3," Bell said. "Thats what Im most proud about that we reached out to
citizens. Residents who have not felt a part of the process. And they came
out. And they came out and they spoke loudly."
