Former radio and TV news reporter Jared Cerullo has been elected to fill a vacant seat on the Wichita City Council.
In a second round of balloting Tuesday, Cerullo received four votes, the number required to fill the vacancy. Council members Becky Tuttle, Cindy Claycomb, Bryan Frye and Jeff Blubaugh voted for Cerullo. Mayor Brandon Whipple and Vice Mayor Brandon Johnson voted for Joseph Shepard.
Cerullo will be sworn in at the next council meeting on March 23rd. He will serve for one year in the District 3 seat formerly held by James Clendenin, who resigned in December.
