As you know, the results are in. DFMC's A-List Candidates performed very well, and our winners included:

• * Mark Stoops (Commissioner)
• * Warren Henegar, Geoff McKim, Julie Thomas (County Council)
• * Kevin Enright (Surveyor)
• * Valeri Haughton, Elizabeth Cure (Judge)

Three members of the DFMC Executive Board won election as delegates to the state convention:

• * David VanDeventer (Vice Chair)
• * Eric Schmitz (Treasurer)
• * Carole Scifres (Secretary)

In addition, several DFMC members were elected as delegates - too many to list here, in fact!

I'd also like to remind everyone that DFMC will support every Democrat on the ballot in the fall, regardless of previous endorsement. We'd like to add a hearty congratulations to Iris Kiesling, Amy Gerstman, Jerry Reed, and Cathy Smith.

I hope you'll also join me in thanking all of the Democratic candidates for making this a race to remember - one that was full of positive and progressive choices. Hopefully, all of these candidates will run again in the future, and continue to bring their spirit of dedication, hard work, and public service to all of the citizens of Monroe County.
