Incumbent Jan Jacobus easily defeated challenger Ike Yancy for the District 3 Milton City Council seat.  Mr. Jacobus garnered a majority of votes in all (but one) precincts in Milton.

Congratulations to Mr. Jacobus!  And thanks to Mr. Yancy for stepping up and challenging Mr. Jacobus.  Milton benefits from competitive elections.

I have been poring over the election results and I will provide more detailed analysis and commentary in a later post.  Suffice to say that Miltonites—as they always do—selected the better candidate.  As I’ve discussed in previous posts, Mr. Yancy presented an unacceptable level of risk of 1) detrimental disruption at council and 2) serving as a conduit for interference from aggrieved former council members and a few wacko political operatives.

Over the past few weeks, the blog experienced a high volume of visitors seeking information on the election and candidates.  Thank you for your trust and confidence in the MC blog.  I especially appreciate readers so generously sharing the blog with fellow voters.  Following is a graphic showing the number of shares of the blog this election season on various social media platforms.  These shares vastly expand and amplify the impact of the MC blog.  Thank you.
