Committed to work together for our community:
The election results have stabilized. As of today, a mere 84 votes separate the top two candidates (0.03% of the 250,276 ballots mailed) and 777 votes separate 2nd and 3rd place (0.3% of the 250,276 ballots mailed).
Only the top two candidates advance to the General Election in November. That means that our existing Clark County leadership team will remain intact and will be joined by two new members in January.
This team will represent these areas:
Jeanne Stewart – District 1 – Vancouver City (through 2018)
Julie Olson or Chuck Green– District 2 – west of Battle Ground (through 2019)
David Madore – District 3 – east of I-205, west of Camas (through 2016)
Tom Mielke – District 4 – East County / Rural (through 2016)
Here’s the map of those new charter defined districts: http://www.clark.wa.gov/elections/documents/maps/BOCCDistricts_Precincts.pdf
The new Council Chair will be:
Mark Boldt or Mike Dalesandro – county-wide (through 2018)
I will continue to fulfill the responsibility as your chairman this year to ensure that our citizen team is successful making wise choices with the public resources entrusted to us.
Flawed and fallible as we all are, we each serve at your pleasure. I will continue to rise each morning, salute, and report for duty Sir! Then go to work doing my best to help our team accomplish great things for our community.
Our job is to faithfully serve our bosses (that’s you) by diligently working together toward a positive vision for the future, with courtesy, honor, and good will.
Thank God! Yea Clark County!
If you are thinking of just writing his name in anyway, it will be a wasted vote, it won’t be counted. RCW 29A.24.311:
(3) No person may file as a write-in candidate where:
(a) At a general election, the person attempting to file either filed as a write-in candidate for the same office at the preceding primary or the person’s name appeared on the ballot for the same office at the preceding primary;
I will continue sitting it out, all responsibility lies with the RPCCGOP and RLC.
