The Kimball City Council, meeting in special session June 4, 2026, voted to canvas the ballots for a two-year council member position and recognized Janene Wingert as the successful candidate. On a motion by Council Member Shelly Janish, seconded by Council Member Dayle Blasius, the council recorded official votes totaling Janene Wingert 34, Matthew (Matt) Bilben 27.
The minutes state that Council Members Janish, Harold Bickner, Angel Stellwag and Dayle Blasius acted as the official Board of Canvassers and reviewed both the poll book and ballot statement, agreeing that the documents “looked correct.” The canvass motion passed on a roll call vote with Bilben recorded as abstaining and Bickner, Stellwag, Blasius and Janish recorded as voting aye (tally: 4 aye, 1 abstain, 0 nay).
