New Plymouth City Council
Voters elected three Plymouth City Council members during the 2024 general election in November.
Current Council Member Kimberly Nelson was chosen by voters to continue representing Ward 1. Nelson had been appointed last spring to serve the remainder of the term, which was vacant due to a previous council member’s relocation outside of Plymouth. Scott Aldrich was elected to serve as Ward 3 council member. Joel Spoonheim was elected to serve as At Large council member.
Outgoing council members included Jim Willis, who served as At Large council member for 20 years, and Catherine Cesnik, who had been appointed last spring to serve the remainder of the vacant Ward 3 term. The City of Plymouth is grateful for their service.
Current council members/seats not included in the 2024 general election were Ward 2 Council Member Julie Peterson, Ward 4 Council Member Julie Pointner, At Large Council Member Clark Gregor and Mayor Jeff Wosje.
