ABERDEEN, Ohio — Incumbent for the Aberdeen, Ohio mayoral race Jason Phillips lost to William Eastwood by six votes in the Tuesday general election.

Phillips said he has been either on the village council or acted as mayor of Aberdeen for almost 20 years. He said he also still cares about the village and hopes Eastwood lives up to his promises of different grants he will be applying for.

“I am self-employed and have a beautiful family I’m going to be spending more time with. I have an 18-month-old granddaughter,” Phillips said of his plans going forward.

He said during his time as mayor he felt he had accomplished a lot of good for the village and would have liked the opportunity to do more.

Phillips stated some doubt at Eastwood’s ability to be a good mayor but said he himself will not run again in the next election and has nothing but good wishes for Aberdeen moving forward.
