 It was election day for Bemidji Ward 4 residents today, voters choosing between two candidates for a vacant seat on the city council. 59-year-old Richard Lehman, Bemidji's mayor from 2000 to 2010, and 58-year-old Patrick Plummel, who is the director of Upper Mississippi Mental Health Center. They were the top two finishers in a March 14 preliminary election and they went head-to-head this time and your winner is Patrick Plummel, who is the top vote-getter with 122 votes. Lehman picked up 86 votes. That means Plummel will now fill that seat that was vacated by Reed Olson. He resigned after being elected to the Beltrami County Board of Commissioners.
