Primary Election

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Kudos to the MT Secretary of State’s office for their pretty awesome election night web interface…of course, the numbers weren’t updated as quickly as I would have liked – I want results NOW! – but it’s amazingly comprehensive and exportable. Here’s the KRTV summary of local/regional election results. Congrats to candidate Bob Edwards for his win – he’ll face off against Glen Stinar in November to become the new sheriff. Edwards sure seemed to have the support of the...

Election Results: Winters Wins

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

The results are in: Mike Winters is Mayor-elect, and will be joined by Fred Burow and Bob Jones on the City Commission. Wasn’t even close – 58% to 40%. And remember Travis’ post about an anti-incumbent sentiment? Yep – incumbent commissioner Rosenbaum came in dead-last. Here’s the unofficial results, as reported at KRTV: Mayor - Bill Bronson: 5,759 (40%) - Mike Winters: 8,430 (58%) City Commission - Fred Burow: 7,629 (26%) - Bob Jones: 7,256 (25%) - John Rosenbaum:...

Election ’09 Update

Friday, October 30, 2009

Election Day for Great Falls is almost here! We’re going to have a new Mayor – either Bill Bronson or Mike Winters. And we’ll get two new members of City Commission, from a field of four candidates: Fred Burow, Bob Jones, John Rosenbaum, and Donna Zook. Check out some videos of the candidates over at KRTV. I’m partial to non-incumbents – and that extends not just to municipal elections, but ALL elections. See related post by Travis over at...

Candidate Interviews

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

A visitor left a comment on an election-related entry from 2007, wondering which of our current crop of candidates are “animal-friendly.” Over at KRTV.com, there are video interviews with all of the candidates for Mayor and City Commission. Don’t know if any of them specifically addressed animal welfare. The Tribune also has an election section, but nothing specifically about animals that I noticed. Would love some feedback, though – any animal/pet-lovers have insight into where the candidates stand on...

Candidate Forum

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

The candidates for the Mayoral and City Commission posts met for a forum on Wednesday night, and although I couldn’t attend, I’m sure glad that Travis did! He provided an outstanding summary of the event over at Electric City Weblog, and included some observations that had me chuckling (or almost weeping). You know the drill: read the whole thing. If you want to hear directly from the candidates, we’ve got full, unedited interviews with all of them posted over...

Election 2008 Wrap

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

So in the end, Montana didn’t go “blue” – but it was much closer than anyone would have thought just several months ago. Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama, and gratitude (and sympathy) to Senator McCain and Governor Palin. I’m still amazed that McCain got the nod in the primaries. If it had been Romney/Palin…but I digress. There’s a good wrap of the local races over at KRTV, and here’s a look at what some other Great Falls bloggers have...
