Brewer voters elected William Kimball to the Brewer City Council on Tuesday with 798 votes.

Kimball ran unopposed for a seat on the council that was left empty following the death of longtime councilor Jerry Goss in December 2023. Goss was well known for his multiple terms on the City Council and the 15 years he served as the principal of Brewer High School.

Kimball will hold the position until November, when Goss’ term comes to an end. Last month, Kimball said he would spend the eight-month term learning how the City Council functions and how best he can contribute to it.

Kimball attended Bangor High School, Husson University, the University of Maine and the Maine Technology Institute. He moved to Brewer in 2021 and owns a local heat pump company.

Ultimately, Kimball said he hopes to help Brewer maintain its small-town culture while welcoming new developments and businesses.
