Neary-Sighted

For those of you who have not seen the official info from the auditor's web site, the signs so far are good:

Lakewood Council Position #7
Walter Neary
3,673 - 62.50%

J. Paul Wagemann
2,186 - 37.20%

And in other races:

Lakewood Council Position #4
Don Anderson
3,773 - 64.87%

Bruce E. Banfield
2,018 - 34.70%

Lakewood Council Position #6
Lisa Ikeda
2,652 - 43.95%

Claudia B. Thomas
3,362 - 55.72%

More results are expected tomorrow after the auditor works through the mailed-in ballots that will be arriving at the county offices tomorrow.

It's pretty late, so let me just say, thank you. Thank you. It's incredibly humbling to be honored with so many votes. I congratulate J. Paul Wagemann for entering the field. I have to say that for a Lakewood CARES candidate, he was very gracious. I had expected a very different race, and I respect him. Maybe one thing the council should consider is letting Paul and his colleagues on our transportation advisory board go directly to voters to raise taxes for roads, as they have suggested. Paul is articulate, and while I myself do not support higher taxes, maybe it would be fair to give him and them an opportunity to appeal directly to voters. Paul at least has earned that right.

But I am getting ahead of myself. That's all a topic for another day. Thank you for your support of me and a better Lakewood. In return, I can only continue to pledge to do my best for you and for Lakewood. More later.

And did I say ...

Thank you.
