Pelz Beats Compton

Posted by on December 14 at 15:55 PM

I don’t think Dwight Pelz is going to replace Compton because word is Pelz is the front runner to replace Paul Berendt as Washington State Democratic Party Chair.

However, Savage, a big Pelz fan, asked me to check how Pelz’s vote count compared to the vote tallies of the sitting council members.

Pelz, even though he lost to McIver last month, got 71K votes.
That puts him ahead of sitting council members Jean Godden (63K), Tom Rasmussen (62K), David Della (65K), and, well, Jim Compton (63K).

I haven't looked at the election results yet, but all of these figures are from the 2003 Council election - and I'd bet you a nickel that the overall number of votes cast was probably higher that year as well (a better measure of popularity would be the percentage they got of votes cast.)

IMHO, no one who lost in the 2005 election should be considered.

50% higher according to sharkansky at later post...
