Got a key to the library so I could get in early and got ready for the election on Tuesday. Returned it to the city secretary's office this morning. The run-off election between Terry Simons and Jack Stotz will be on January 9th. Early voting begins December 27th. Terry got 17.87% of the vote and Jack Stotz got 37.46% in the six-way special election to fill the unexpired term of council member Ron Branson, who had to step down because of health reason. Paul Kramer did not make the run off but had pretty good showing consider he's a first timer with 14.20% of the vote. Turnout was 2.63%, with 1694 votes cast among a total of 64,406 registered voters. The city has more than 116,000 residents.
