The Levan Town Council appointed Jerry Hodges Spencer to fill a vacant council seat during its regular meeting on Sept. 11, 2025, voting unanimously in a roll call to seat him "until the first of the year." Council members voted yes on the appointment and administered the oath of office to Spencer at the meeting.
Spencer told the council he and his family plan to remain in Levan and said they value the town’s "friendliness" and sense of community. "We plan on spending the rest of our lives here," he said after describing reasons he wanted to help preserve the town’s small‑town character.
