Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson to Meet Successor Joseph Ferris

Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson is set to hold a transitional meeting with Mayor-elect Joseph Ferris on Monday (December 22). This meeting comes after Ferris narrowly defeated Johnson by 41 votes in the recent election. Johnson initially delayed conceding until eight days after the polls closed, waiting for the Columbia County Board of Elections to certify the results.

Ferris expressed his eagerness for the meeting, which will help ensure a smooth transition of power before he officially takes office on New Year's Day. The upcoming meeting signifies a crucial step in the transition process, allowing both leaders to discuss ongoing projects and future plans for the city of Hudson.
