He made it

He made it past preliminaries. Here is a link to the Herald Journal's Election Blog http://www.hjnews.com/blog/index.html They typed in the number of Dave's votes incorrectly. He got 374. But there were over 40 provisional ballots, and I was one of them, so I know he'll get at least one more vote :) I had to vote provisionally because I was still registered at my Cobblestone address.

I'm a little overwhelmed at the thought of the campaigning ahead. He has to get a lot of new votes in order to make it into that top 3. But I think he can get a lot of people registered to vote, and they'll vote for him. I think it's really important for him to get in to City Council for the sake of Providence. There are only 2 out of the 6 candidates that aren't trying to pass the water bill that will stop all development. If all 3 of the new council members are trying to stop development, they have the majority, and goodbye development. This is crazy! I may very well have a newborn in that last week before the election, and that's the most important time to campaign. But maybe I won't go as early this time.
