Won by 35 votes (2.0%)1.0% swing needed to unseat
The councillor holds a very narrow majority of 35 votes (2.05%) from a turnout of 35.34%, making the seat highly vulnerable. The margin of victory narrowed by 4.6 percentage points since the previous election, and a swing of just 1.02% would be sufficient to unseat her, especially given the increase from four to five candidates.
