Final thoughts, post-election

Here are the (unofficial) numbers for mayor, ward-by-ward:

Ward 1P (Plum Island):
Holaday - 140
Shanley - 131

Ward 1:
Holaday - 426
Shanley - 320

Ward 2:
Holaday - 459
Shanley - 310

Ward 3:
Holaday - 384
Shanley - 463

Ward 4:
Holaday - 459
Shanley - 395

Ward 5:
Holaday - 406
Shanley - 289 (audible gasp from people in the room)

Ward 6:
Holaday - 430
Shanley - 349

Official (per Port Media):
Total Holaday: 2707
Total Shanley: 2258

Charter Commission confirmed as listed on previous post (again, per Port Media, who hung around for official results).

I'm a big believer in the process - the will of the people through their vote (or surveys), jury decisions, etc. I'm happy for EVERYONE who won (and applaud everyone who ran and did not win), and I think the City Council will be very interesting next session. Also glad there are still two women on there.
