In Position 2 (Kate Martin/Sherry Carr), Sherry has dipped to just below 40 percent ( 39.97%) and Kate is at 32.41. That makes them just 7.56% apart, the lowest percentage of any race.

It is fascinating that Sherry is under 40%, if only by a hair. I have to say that one of the best showings of all was Jack Whelan. He came out of nowhere, with no base, no experience and managed to get over 17% of the vote in his district! I enjoyed chatting with him several times and found him thoughtful and interested. I hope he continues to pay attention and contributes his ideas and efforts to the November campaign. He can make a difference without being a candidate.
At the very least, the district should be a great source for curriculum ideas for his course in strategic communication.
Good luck to you, Jack.

I had the same experience. Jack is a wonderful man. I'm grateful he threw his hat into the race and broadened the conversation. I also believe Jack has much to offer..and hope he stays involved.
Michelle is beating Dunn by 181 votes.
