Update: Kent County voters elect 2nd District commissioner

Tuesday night, Republican James Hosfelt won the election for Kent County's 2nd District Commissioner.

Hosfelt won with about 63-percent of the vote against Democrat Andrea Kreiner.

The race was considered a special election and took place today because the former Levy Court Commissioner stepped down before the end of his term.

Approximately 1,800 people voted.

Hosfelt said in a Facebook post, "There will be a tough road ahead for the county but we will make Kent the best in the state."
