She fills the vacancy left after former at-large Councilor Steve Beals resigned.
Having a long history of serving Southport and the Republican Party, Hostetler was a natural fit for the position, according to McQuillen. As a candidate for Southport clerk-treasurer last year, she campaigned vigorously, meeting residents and discussing the challenges they faced.
Serving as an elected precinct committeeman and a volunteer in her community, Hostetler leads by example and principle, McQuillen added.
