Tonight we see the results of the primary election and the makeup of the Board of County Commissioners is going to change for the next two years.
We will have one new member, Robert Bender, who won a plurality of the votes in a tough 6-man race in the Republican primary and who is all but assured a win against a write-in opponent in November.
I offered my congratulations to him on his victory this evening.
In the District 2 Republican Primary-Doug Underhill emerged victorious in a very tough race against challenger Alan McMillan.
I offered my congratulations to Doug in a phone call this evening. Next he will face Democrat challenger Scott Trotter in the general election in November.
I offer my congratulations to all the winners in all the races tonight-- and I look forward to continuing to work with my counterparts on this board--whomever they may be--for the citizens and the taxpayers.
Nice words. Hopefully the victors will be humble in their service.

ReplyDeleteThe commission race in D2 was very close with only 211 votes separating the incumbent and challenger. It seems the D2 race is always a nail-biter. The D4 race had 6 people and the winner had a margin of almost 700 votes.
