Kimball, Kaneali‘i-Kleinfelder talk priorities after winning council seats in Tuesday’s election
Two County Council members — one new and one returning — were elected by voters during Tuesday’s general election.
Heather Kimball, 48, of Papaikou claimed victory Tuesday against former longtime council member Dominic Yagong for the District 1 seat currently occupied by Hamakua Councilwoman Valerie Poindexter, who is term-limited.
According to results posted just before 4 a.m. Wednesday, Kimball received 4,661 votes, or nearly 54.8% of votes after eliminating blank and “over” votes from the tally, compared to Yagong’s 3,849, or 45.2%.
