The Results are in

Posted May 2008 by David

The City Council results are in.  I won with 784 of the votes cast and Jeff Jeffers came in second with 744 votes.  Kevin MacWithey came in third with 653 votes and Randy Thompson received 508 votes. 

I want to thank the other candidates for their participation in this election.  Without them, there wouldn’t have been an election and with no election, there wouldn’t have been the dialogue voters got to become educated on some of the issues facing our City. 

I’m grateful to Kevin for his service to the City these last 4 years.  He’s served with distinction and Fredericksburg’s a better place because of his service.  I’m also looking forward to working more with Randy in the coming months.  In particular, his perspective and energy on the affordable housing issue is something I hope to see his participation on. 

In closing this post, I want to thank my supporters and the voters of Fredericksburg for their confidence in me.  We have so much to be grateful for and there’s still so much we can do.  I’ll look forward to hearing from you and will depend on your involvement to continue Fredericksburg’s prosperity.  Thank you.

    David,

    Was pleased to see your efforts for affordable housing. Over my 14 years at EDC I brought it up 5 times and was shot down in no uncertain terms by council each time. The leadership and some members would not allow discussion; most of them are gone but one is still there.

    While the seeds were planted years ago the conditions have to be right to succeed. A new council with a different perspective is a good thing. Had we had people like we have now in place years ago we could have moved the ball forward as well. I just hope they get it right this time because I have seen this issue handled badly and “you get one chance to make a first impression”.

    My impression is the mayor will support it along with Tom so that should be a good start. At least you can get it moving.

    Good luck.
    Larry
