Ed Gomes, that was not a win! That was a mandate!
Lennie, do you have the breakdown of the Stafstrom/Torres contest?
Yes, working on it.
THANKS!
Losers and winners: Rev. Moales, Mayor Finch, and the IMA. Moales has very little support Citywide and Mayor Finch had pulling power to help Moales and the IMA looked bad with supporting Rev. Moales with their President, State Rep. Rev. Moales not saying anything during the election thereby showing he had no pulling power to help Moales. Ed Gomes vote total of 1309 was just 158 votes short of having more votes than the four other candidates together. Rev. Moales lost this election but Mayor Finch is losing black votes plus he lost his biggest booster to get those black voters, Rev. Moales. Mayor Finch now has the City’s two state senators who are not in Finch’s camp. The winner: Ed Gomes, enough said.
Sad truth Ron, is Moonbeam doesn’t have a clue as to the damage his interference caused. He’s oblivious to reality. I’m tired from an entire year of working elections, but the result was worth it. One more in November. I hope my luck hasn’t run out!
Lisa, Finch is next and that’s where we all must come together; yes, one more, November.
Not November but August, when Finch will have to primary Joe!
I am so looking forward to this upcoming election season. I honestly believe a significant anti-Finch sentiment has built throughout the city and Mayor Finch is in real trouble.
Ron, I would be so happy to see and talk to you, I miss you! One more, Ron and Maria!!!
That’s an amazing picture!
