ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Nichole Rogers is projected as the winner of the Albuquerque City Council District 6 seat covering Nob Hill and the International District.

According to Bernalillo County’s website, all voting centers are reporting results, showing Nichole Rogers in the lead ahead of Jeff Hoehn:

• Rogers – 2,416 votes (52.24%)
• Hoehn – 2,209 (47.76%)

“We’ve worked tirelessly to bring our vision of a more inclusive, thriving community to the forefront, and I am grateful that our efforts have resonated with the voters,” Rogers said. “The prospect of becoming the first African American woman on the Albuquerque City Council is both an honor and a profound responsibility.”

During the municipal election last month, the results were as follows:

• Nichole Rogers – 2,974 votes (40%)
• Jeff Hoehn – 2,399 (32%)
• Kristin Greene – 1,329 (18%)
• Abel Otero – 706 (10%)

Because no candidate received at least 50% of the vote, they put the top two candidates – Rogers and Hoehn – into a runoff election.
