Madison Primary Results

In general I'm pleased with the Madison and Dane County primary results. The only really disturbing race is the Supreme Court. Although Linda Clifford won the county with 44.6%, verses 38.3% for Annette Ziegler, I had expected her to do significantly better here. If Clifford can't win Dane County overwhelmingly in April she's not going beat Ziegler. The rest of the results:

Madison Mayor. As everyone expected, Dave walked away with it.

Mayor Dave - 57.5%
Ray Allen - 29.9
Peter Munoz - 9.9%
Will Sandstrom - 2.4%

Madison District 6 Alderperson. A complete blowout. This race is over.

Marsha Rummel - 67.9%
Carol Durocher - 15.3%
Adam Casey - 11.5%
Brooks McGrath - 4.7%

Madison District 10 Alderperson. An even bigger blowout.

Brian Solomon - 71.8%
Chris Ogden - 17.1%
Thomas McClure - 6.0%
Nick Dorneanu - 4.5%

Madison District 11 Alderperson. An impressive performance by Chris Schmidt against a fairly strong incumbent.

Tim Gruber - 46.4%
Chris Schmidt - 43.1%
Sandra Lynne Saul - 10.0%

Madison District 12 Alderperson. These number look good for Satya. She should pick up almost all of Mike Basford's votes (assuming Mike supports her, which he should) giving her a clear lead over Deadman in the general.

Mark Deadman - 34.3%
Satya Rhodes-Conway - 34.0%
Mike Basford - 28.6%
Marcus Watson - 3.0%

Madison District 13 Alderperson. Another lopsided blowout.

Julia Kerr - 73.7%
Duane Steinhauer (Progressive Duane) - 14.3%
Mike Clark - 10.7%

Madison District 15 Alderperson. Vicky has her work cut out for her in this one.

Larry Palm - 50.0%
Vicky Selkowe - 40.4%
Mark Schmitt - 9.2%

Madison District 17 Alderperson.

Joe Clausius - 55.4%
Sarah Florino - 22.6%
Mary Thornton - 21.1%

Madison District 18 Alderperson. Props to Olivas who never ran for office before. Despite his defeat I hope he stays involved in politics.

Michael Schumacher - 49.1%
Jon Becker - 36.4%
Benito Juarez Olivas - 10.4%
Andy Lindgren - 4.0%

Madison School Board Seat 3. I haven't seen Rick Thomas do much campaigning, but what he did clearly worked. I believe he is a fairly conservative Christian, and church support may have been his secret weapon.

Beth Moss - 50.0%
Rick Thomas - 26.3%
Pam Cross-Leone - 22.4%

Shame on you if you didn't vote today, and on to the general election!
