Ben Bergmann almost beat Finley even though he withdrew.

In the latest batch, Frumin hold a 4955-4044 lead with only the mail in stragglers left. That won't be more than 100-200 votes.

Congrats to Mr. Frumin.

Congrats to DFER for unifying Ward 3.

Bergman's day-of tallies were pretty incredible for someone who "withdrew" - despite there being a big sign saying that he withdrew at polling places, he still won a lot of votes.

No they weren’t. Almost all of his votes came in the first batch of mail/early vote. Stop spreading b.s. to hype this guy.

That goes for Tricia Duncan too.

But Ben, Tricia and Henry were correct in dropping out. Matt would not have won had all 3 stayed in the race.

Something that Lisa Gore and Nate Flemming never learned in their race against Anita Bonds.

And I was surprised how poor Phil Thomas did. He worked so hard pounding the pavement.
Most likely people gave up and voted for Eric over him when they figured Phil didn't have a chance.
But it was clearly Deirdre Brown who ran the worst campaign.
Nothing ever original or insightful came out of her mouth. Always spoke in generalities.
And instead of taking matching donations, she funded her campaign. So she had 30k in her campaign, while everyone who matched had 100,000

Phil represents the core NIMBY vote in the Ward. That is it.

If the mayor had been out campaigning for, or even publicly endorsed, Thomas, that would've made a difference. As it was, a vague implicit endorsement wasn't enough.

If they weren't going to endorse him someone in the mayor's office should have talked him out of running. The way they strung him out to dry was mean.

At least three candidates, Monash, Goulet and Thomas, got into the race hoping for the Mayoral endorsement.

If she had picked one the Green Team probably would have picked up a seat. Instead it looks like they've lost ground.
