Tonia Aiken-Taylor, a minister, also won a seat with 18 percent of the votes.
Laura Perdue, a first-term incumbent on council, appears headed for a runoff against Johna Bilton, who owns a children's boutique. Each got 17 percent of the votes in unofficial results. The results will be certified Thursday morning.
Six candidates were running for three council seats. Robbie McLaughlin, a retired train master, got 13 percent of the votes.
