(Atlantic, Iowa) – Voters in the City of Atlantic will head to the polls for the second time this month, Tuesday (Tomorrow) to determine who will take the helm as Mayor in January. During the November 2nd City/School Elections, two candidates – Tim Teig and Grace Garrett – got the most votes, but didn’t reach that 50-percent-plus-one threshold. Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones did not run for re-election. Today (Monday) is the last day to vote absentee in the Cass County Auditor’s Office.

Teig received the most votes in the first election. He served as Mayor of Atlantic years ago. He also served on the city council in the 1980s. Grace Garrett was the second place finisher and will face Teig in the November 30 run-off. Garrett is currently an at-large member of Atlantic’s city council.
