RULE Backed Incumbent Council Members
Dianne Martinez & Scott Donahue Also Win
With all five precincts reporting tonight but the election results not final, the hotly contested Emery School Board race appears to have swung for two change agent candidates Sarah Nguyen and Susan Donaldson with 1149 and 781 votes respectively or 29% and 19% of the total vote. Incumbent Brynnda Collins who also can claim victory, garnered 1123 votes or 28%. Losers Katy Brown and Ken Bukowski are taking up the rear at 654 and 225 votes representing 16% and 5% respectively. The three winners are all endorsed by the resident activist group Residents United for a Livable Emeryville (RULE) as well as the Democratic Party of Alameda County.
The City Council race is breaking as expected tonight with RULE backed incumbents Dianne Martinez and Scott Donahue winning with 1471 and 1191 votes reflecting 49% and 39%. Ken Bukowski came in at 319 votes or 10 %.
Wahoo! The election turned out like I hoped it would.
