I can't wait for more lies!

You did it to yourself, Alexandria.

I really, really hope so! I haven't looked at the latest numbers but the margin for the lead in this case is so slim that it doesn't seem like there is consensus. I haven't heard any names being bounced around, though. We really do need an alternative.

Thanks final is Wilson 53, Silberberg 47. That's not a landslide but it's not that slim a margin either.

Oops autocorrect. The final, not thanks final.

Pretty sure vice mayor gets chosen during the general election, not the primary.

Obviously, I mean that’s the only reason I spend time with my family outside of my home.

I guess but unfortunately for those kids it didn't really look like that close of a relationship if you know what I mean.

Wow, you need help and perspective....if you know what I mean. Take a look at how gracious Mayor Silberberg has been and learn something from that.

My initial comment was only that I wanted to speak with him about his poor choices but I didn't because his children were there. And my "perspective" is that seeing the way he interacted with his children has only validated my already poor opinion of him, if you know what I mean!

Not a huge Wilson fan here but dude, if you judged me on how my kid and I interacted in public, I’d be hosed. Yesterday she sneezed in my mouth then jammed a potato chip in my nose and wiped her boogers on my shoulder. I mean, she’s a toddler but still.

Ha! Lovely! I get it, I really do. We've all been there! But these are elementary school kids so a different story. They're nice kids but you could tell from the way Wilson was interacting with them that this wasn't his normal thing. Anyway, I guess we'll have to lump it. This, too, shall pass. Hopefully it will pass quickly and he won't cause too much damage!

Bailey is out too. Chapman and Pepper are the only incumbents who made it.

Is there a Chapman voter here who can tell me what the appeal is? Genuinely interested in the perspective given how much of the vote he got. Thank you.

Unusually well-known personally. He follows the David Speck theory; I bet he personally has met ten thousand people in town and could recall the names of at least five thousand, on sight.

I’m in West Alexandria and she by far has the most signs out in my hood. Also, she was at my polling station today. So we apparently love her out in this neck of the woods!

I certainly don’t mind a council candidate actually showing up in my neighborhood. We don’t get that much out here.

I grew up and live on the west end too, so I get it. But Del Pepper stands for very little and will do close to nothing to move this city ahead. We need young/fresh blood in this city.

Well luckily it looks like lots of fresh young faces will be joining her on the council based on the results today!
