Blacksburg Town Councilman Joe Ross won re-election Tuesday to his District 1 seat.
Ross received 84 votes or 76 percent of the balloting to defeat local businesswoman and political newcomer Suzanne Patterson. Patterson finished with 25 votes.
Only 23 percent of the registered voters in the district cast ballots.
“I felt there should have been a better turnout,” Patterson said. “I wish Joe the best of luck. I feel I did my best, and I’m not through. I mean there are other avenues even if you’re not on the council.”
Ross has served on the Council for 11 years.
