Default Poofa Politicians: How Did You Do?

Those who ran...post up whether you won or lost.

Either way, congrats on going for it! Instead of sitting on the couch, you worked to make your community better!


***************

As for me...

I WON!

Yes, I was unopposed, but I stood outside from 6:45am to 8:00pm just so everyone knew I wanted the job. I met lots of great constituents in the process.

(I also carried CC at 2:00 the entire time with no issues.)

Congrats!

I was bounced from one polling place to another, until finally voting in a borough that I don't live in.
it was an odd experience.

Democrat John Zackowski 2835 42.5% Republican Claudia LaChance 3838 57.5%
I won, there are 15 voting districts and we had a near 30% turnout. Very high for this sort of election. The Rep. party swept all seats that were being run for except for one. I ran against a retired local cop. I did a ton of door to door and meet/greets and handed out a zillion flyers personally on Labor Day. I am now waiting for Jan to be sworn in as constable.

Congratulations, Constable Beretta!

I ran unopposed and, for good measure, got myself written in during the primaries so I was on both tickets. The vote yesterday was unanimous, except for one write-in.

I won one of the 2 council seats open in our ward of the borough.

I also believe I may have seen someone OC. Well looked like a holser below his open coat. This gentleman flies a Gasden flag from his porch 2 streets over from me.

Whoo hooo, we also ousted our existing Mayor for a more foavorable candidate...

It would be great if everyone would post the position they ran for as well.

I lost in the primary running for Constable and lost again as a write in.
I did hand out about 50 of the Pa Gun Rights Fliers

Good point. (Shame on me!)

I won re-election for my four-year seat on borough council. I'm one of ten members; five of us were up for re-election.
