In Tuesday’s Primary, I won the Democratic nomination for the City Council’s 4th District with about 65 percent of the vote. Vigo County Clerk Pat Mansard says the unofficial results of my race show that 456 ballots were cast for me, while my opponent got 248 votes. The state-certified official election results will be available Monday, May 21st; Pat told me she doesn’t expect the numbers to change much.

No one ran on the Republican ticket in my district on Tuesday, but local Republican Party leaders have until June 30 to caucus and place a candidate on the ballot. I’m looking forward this fall’s General Election campaign, but everyone gets a well-deserved rest until then.

Thanks to all of you who are supporting my reelection effort — especially the voters of the 4th District. I will continue to work hard to represent you on Terre Haute’s City Council.
