GUTHRIE-While no one candidate won outright, John R. Wood, along with the incumbent, will advance to the April 7 general election for Guthrie City Council Ward 1 seat.

“I met personally with many residents leading up to the primary,” said Wood. “I look forward to continuing to meet my Ward 1 neighbors to learn more about how we can build a Guthrie where we ‘reside with pride.’”
