Nope. She might have more $ left from her house camps. But Tom will outwork her.

The Hubbards should be barred from any city office after the BS they've pulled. How the heck can they continue to enter elections after all of the allegations of fraud?!

Pattan and Ray would be a good tandem for downtown.

Betts is in favor of the NLEC staying open. That'll hurt her.

That's great, but the 5th Ward is mostly not Downtown. I'm not convinced Bob Ray knows that. I know he shows up other places, but it still feels superficial.

Agreed, but it's only allegations to this point. We'll see where the federal investigation goes. While we wait, the voters can send another message that their game is up.

You're reading it right...but idk if he can or cannot. from what i am told the MEC doesnt actual check these reports until someone files a complaint....so alderman reports are riddled with errors and bs.

Tom Villa has dropped his re-election bid.

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt ... af3f2.html

Anyone know much about the others running in that primary? Dee Brown, Eddie Tucker & Sara Wood Martin.

If I lived in the 11th Ward, I would just change my last name to Villa and run.

Thats what, 3 elections in 4 years Megan Green has now won?

66% against Jennifer Florida. Will TGS be declared to be in active rebellion by the powers that be at City Hall?

Shame that Megan Green survived to plague the City of St. Louis for years to come.

PostMar 08, 2017#321

In other news, Tyus barely survived in Ward 1, Bosley got a surprisingly low 29% of a divided field in Ward 3, Hubbard prevailed over a divided field in Ward 5 (by more than her absentee margin), Martin won in a walk with Villa's support in Ward 11. Prop P looks set to pass easily.

Ortmann loses badly in Ward 9 (he was super pro police), Oldenburg pulls off an upset in Ward 16, Muhammad very narrowly prevails in Ward 21, and it looks like the Boyd family beats the Carters in Ward 27.

Kinda crazy that you only need 400-600 votes to get elected as an alderman in some wards. Seems like we need to align municipal elections with the November dates for statewide and national office.

And, Roddy fended off his primary challenger in the 17th ward, as did Marlene Davis in the 19th.
