The the election results, that I'm reporting, from the Vallejo City 2013 Council Race posted last evening at 11:48PM. They show that three of the four candidates that Labor, The Democratic Party, and myself were backing won the race. The final count will be posted on Friday. However, the final count is not expected to change the results of the election.
The winners of the contest are as follows: Jess Malgapo, Katy Miessner, Pippin Dew, Rozzana Verder-Aliga. Anthony Summers fell short by about 1000 votes and was not elected. Jump the fold for a few pictures of the election night parties I attended last night and a few of my thoughts about the whole process. I'm glad it is over!

First of all I would like to thank my employer that supported me over the last 5 months during the campaign. Without her support I would not have be able to get time off work to keep up with all the things that came up.

Congratulations to Katy Miessner, and I'm looking forward to working in her capacity as member of the Vallejo City Council. Katy is a good Democrat and has been a strong voice in Vallejo for human rights and fiscal responsibility. In upcoming diaries I will continue to blog about this election where mostly all Democrats were running.
