Frederick's Mayor-Elect, Jeff Holtzinger

A relative newcomer will soon take the helm of Frederick's Town Hall. His platform was centered around avoiding the "Business as Usual" mentality of government. After beating an experienced and well-financed opponent in the primary, Jeff Holtzinger defeated former four-term mayor Ronald N. Young by 358 votes last week. Holtzinger received about 52 percent of the vote. Holtzinger takes office in early January.
