 It's been five months since Ward 4 in Bemidji has had representation on the Bemidji City Council. Tonight, that vacant seat was officially filed, filled. Joined by his family and friends, recently elected candidate Patrick Plummer took the oath of office during tonight's City Council meeting. Plummer won the Ward 4 seat with 122 votes. He had that many more than former Bemidji Mayor Richard Lehman. Plummer says he's getting ready to get to work and focus on issues that are important to Ward 4. I'm excited to work for Ward 4, all the city businesses that are in Ward 4 and the residents of Ward 4 and I just really look forward to representing everybody's voice. I encourage people to go on the city website, find out my contact information and contact me with any questions or concerns that they would have and I will try to move those concerns and questions forward. This is Plummer's first time in an elected position. He'll take on multiple roles sitting on various committees.
