Newcomer Brent Musson (CT 4610) and incumbent Greg Middleton (CT 4602) won the only contested races in the Altadena Town Council election today,  in an election that largely returned familiar faces to the council.

Other newcomers — who were in uncontested elections — are Gretchen Seager and Amy Cienfuegos.

There were 351 ballots cast in the election, of which the hard-campaigning Musson garnered the most of any single candidate.  In addition, the majority of votes for Musson –53 — were cast at the Altadena Library during pre-voting last Tuesday.

This was the lightest turnout for a town council election in recent years: 739 ballots were cast in 2010, compared to 484 in 2009 and 735 in 2008.
