Two of three incumbents easily won re-election to the Cary Town Council on Tuesday, while the third found himself in a tighter race.
Incumbents Jennifer Robinson in District A and at-large council member Ed Yerha each beat their two challengers by comfortable margins.
Meanwhile, Jack Smith of District C, the longest-serving member on the council now, had a closer race with challenger Kenneth Presting. Smith, a Republican who was first elected to the council in 1989, won an eighth four-year term.
Robinson, also a Republican, won a fifth full term against two challengers – Majid Mohadjer and Radha Ravi Varma.
Yerha, who is registered unaffiliated, won his second full term against Jeff Alan De Deugd and George McDowell.
