The current Fourth Ward Columbia City Council member will now serve the city another three years after being re-elected Tuesday.

Council member Ian Thomas won his re-election campaign against opponent Daryl Dudley. Thomas beat Dudley 3,773 votes to 1,946.

Dudley suspended his campaign in late March after Thomas’s campaign filed a complaint concerning the Dudley campaign’s contribution reporting.

MoBikeFed comment: Thomas is former Executive Director of the PedNet Coalition in Columbia and currently serves on the Board of America Walks. Thomas consistently champions bicycle and pedestrian issues, most recently the work in Columbia for a VisionZero approach to eliminating traffic fatalities.
