With just under 69 percent of the vote Tuesday, Chad Somers eased his way into the Ward 2 position on the Great Bend City Council. The 13-year resident of Great Bend said the reason he became interested in running for City Council was because the city has been good to him and he is now in a position to give back.

Between now and January when he’ll be sworn in to his public office, Somers hopes to learn more about the city’s operations.
