R. Hardy Rudasill has been appointed to serve out the rest of the term on the Salisbury City Council that had been left vacant by the departure of Laura Mitchell at the end of last month.
The vote was 4 to 0 yesterday.
The 38 year-old attorney and compliance officer for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore said he applied because his friends and neighbors believed he would be a good fit.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that he is a native of Prince George’s County and graduated from UMES in 2006.
In addition, Muir Boda was chosen as the new vice president of the council replacing Mitchell in that position.
