Incumbent Elizabeth Nelson has lost her 4th Ward seat on Ann Arbor City Council. In Tuesday’s Democratic Primary, Dharma Akmon won the three-way race with 49% of the vote.
Akmon says the primary message of her campaign has been to provide strong city services like good roads, clean water and a civil group of government leaders.
“I think it was moving forward, a positive vision for the future, housing affordability, basic services and a progressive vision.”
Nelson had represented the 4th Ward since 2018 and was seeking a second term. Barring any write-in candidates, Akmon will be unopposed in the November general election.
