Ward 8: South-side voters stick with Ben Henderson

A tight race in Ward 8 ended with another victory Monday for incumbent Ben Henderson, who edged past a pair of upstart challengers to secure his fourth term on city council.
Henderson secured 36 per cent of the vote, enough to get by strong campaigns from community organizer Kirsten Goa, social studies teacher James Kosowan and three other nominees.
Henderson, 59, said he knew he was in for a much tougher fight this election than the 2013 race, which he won with almost 75 per cent of the vote.
