By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorThe new Warrenton mayor will be moving over a couple of seats, while an old face will be returning in Marthasville following Tuesday’s election.Warrenton Ward 2 alderman Eric Schleuter won a three-person race for mayor that featured two aldermen vying for the position.David Lange, meanwhile, defeated Marthasville Mayor Jason Schantz by only 10 votes and will return to the position he last held in 2005.Schleuter and Lange will each serve two-year terms and be sworn in later this month.In Warrenton, Schleuter received 315 votes, or 51 percent, according to unofficial results. Ward 3 Alderman John Clark followed with 255 votes, or 41 percent, while Wayne J. Smith had 38 votes (6 percent).Schleuter, who was elected to the board for the first time last year, said his victory Tuesday has yet to settle in. He topped Clark who had been a mainstay on the board for years, having served in two different stints.“I am excited,” Schleuter told The Record. “I think the citizens are ready for changes. It’s not a cliché, I am excited to push that forward.”Schleuter will succeed Mike Shilharvey, who was appointed in December in the aftermath of Jerry Dyer’s passing. He will also have to appoint someone to fill his vacant spot on the board.Schleuter said he is eager to form better relationships within the business community and make sure Warrenton is moving in a progressive manner.“People want to see growth, they just don’t want to see us explode,” he said. “I agree with them. Sometimes you hear people say that it seems the town is downtrodden. I don’t believe that, but I hear that. We all have to work on it. We have to pull together.”The vote total by ward was as follows: Ward 1 — Schleuter, 114; Clark, 79; and Smith, 15. Ward 2 — Schleuter, 150; Clark, 94; and Smith, 11.
