The below election results are what I posted on my Facebook last night just before 7 p.m. It still stands. I am pleased to see everyone being nice and neighborly. I hope that continues.
We’re almost there. Almost at 7 p.m., when the polls close. I imagine we will start to see results sometime after 8 p.m. in Gilpin. Maybe a bit later in Boulder.
Before the tallies come in, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to every single candidate that ran. Each and every one of you believes you can make a difference, or you wouldn’t be there. So, thank you.
If you are unopposed, I wish each of you the best term in your new (or continued) position.
To those running in an election with more than one candidate, I wish you the grace to be kind to your opponent, win or lose. I wish you the strength to make good decisions from the moment you find out the results. I wish you peace in whatever direction you go when this is over.
We are all neighbors. Many of us are friends, co-workers, parents, community members, business owners, teachers and leaders. We are here to support each other, regardless of party affiliation, regardless of who wins or loses. We are here to coexist. We are here tomorrow and next week, and next year. Just like we have been here the last year, or 5 years, or 3 decades, or a lifetime.
Thank you to each candidate that stepped up and to each voter that took the time to mail or deliver their ballot. Your voice matters.
And, of course, here is my regular spiel about supporting the local newspaper, which hires local people and is run by our local family. We are the only independently owned paper to cover the entire Peak to Peak region, from Allenspark to Central City and Black Hawk. And of course, all the canyons and communities in between. Online subscriptions are currently just $50 per year. That’s less than $1 per week. You can also subscribe for one month at a time. We encourage people to try the online edition first, to see if you like it. You can subscribe here to any type of subscription.
The Mountain-Ear is YOUR community newspaper covering everything you love in the entire Peak to Peak region, since 1977. As always, my door is open (in Nederland and Black Hawk), my phone is on and my email gets checked regularly.
