The winner will serve for just over a year, the balance of Webb’s term.
Webb was elected to her seat in 2021. She served less than one full term before her resignation.
“It has been both a unique learning experience and a pleasure to work with all of you,” Webb wrote in her letter of resignation. “I am very appreciative of having had the opportunity to learn about the operations of the city. I wish you all the best in doing what is the most beneficial for the Robbinsdale community.”
