Spanish Fork voters favored Richard Davis, father of Kiplyn Davis, who went missing in 1995. He received 3,370 votes, the most of any of the five candidates for three open seats. He said he ran to show his appreciation to Spanish Fork for all they've done for his family during the hardships they've faced after Kiplyn disappeared.
He said he planned to celebrate by going to bed and getting back to work Wednesday morning.
Apparently Eagle Mountain residents considered questionable actions and pasts while voting in their election. Richard Culbertson, whose real estate license was revoked and publicized, received 501 votes to Heather Jackson's 1,535.

Ryan Ireland, Donna Burnham and Eric Cieslak will now be part of the City Council.
Residents of Cedar Hills, where one incumbent was running, re-elected Jim Perry and elected Kenneth Kirk and Marisa Wright.
Kirk said Tuesday night that he was excited and believed that all of the candidates would do a good job.
