The runoff is necessary because nether Hood, a 56-year-old architectural designer, nor King, a 54-year-old women’s boutique owner, received more than 50% of the vote in a three-way race on Nov. 3.
On Nov. 3, Hood had 1,682 votes, or 41%, while King received 1,904 votes,or 47%. Jason Wirth, a 49-year-old project manager for a construction company, finished third by receiving 488 votes, or 12%.
Hood and King are running for the council seat left vacant by Valerie Nicholson, who resigned in May because she was moving out of the district.
