(Community Matters) She’s definitely in for the runoff – too much is at stake. Huge differences between the candidates and for the future of Austin, too much not to allow voters to decide.
“Despite the view of some political pundits, I am confident that we can compete effectively and win the run-off election. The turnout on May 14th was just 7% — the lowest turnout in decades. The final margin between myself and my opponent on Election Day was just over 4,000 votes — less than 1/2 of 1% of Austin’s population. That margin is too small, and the differences of opinion between myself and my opponent too big, for me and my supporters to quit this race.”
The cost of the election pales in comparison to the millions Randi’s opponent would cost Austin.
