So, how'd your local races turn out?

[jmowreader]

We had four: mayor and half the city council. All the candidates endorsed by our loudest local right-wing group lost, in no case by less than 15 percent.

1. The mayoral candidate I voted for won, voting out the incumbent.

The city commissioner I voted for was a dark horse and he came in fourth out of four.

Those were the only two races on the ballot.

2. Terrible

Five Republicans were elected to our county council (Northampton, PA), and the county executive race was an upset in favor of the Republican.

3. Millage renewal for local school district passed in a landslide (n/t)

4. One of the candidates I was working for lost, and the other won

SeaTac looks like it's passing the $15/hr minimum wage law. Big Coal money did not prevail against Democrats running for the Whatcom County Council. Our only state legislative race (an appointee running against a teabagging whackjob) is too close to call, but our guy is behind.

5. Lost the only local Dem and 2 more challengers...

6. The Mayoral and City Council elections went straight (D) as expected

The outlying suburbs were decidedly (R) as expected.

The only surprise was in the Mayoral election, where Warren defeated the incumbent Mayor in the primary. The current Mayor withdrew from the race due to his son's health related issues, but still remained on the ballot. He was nearly re-elected ( by a few thousand votes ) last night on the Independence line.

I'm happy with the outcome in the Mayoral election, the former incumbent Mayor was a (D) merely by association and necessity. He was a corporate man, the former CEO of the largest energy supplier in the area, so he had lots of friends in development, and the giveaways were generous.

Lots of hope for our City under Lovely Warren, our city's first female Mayor!

Best of luck!
