Challenger Johnnie Anderson won a close race among three candidates for Gallatin mayor according to unofficial results from the Nov. 3 election. Anderson had 5,173 votes, edging out Mary Genung with 5,104 votes and incumbent Paige Brown, who had 4,992, based on totals from the Sumner County Election Commission on Nov. 3, which was not yet certified.
