Bill Nelson won a fourth term..and I won a fifth in final results released today by the local Boards of Election.
Mayor Nelson won a second squeaker...An eleven vote mandate against Jack McGrath. Frankly, I disagree with some of Mayor Nelson's approach to KnoxGate....but he is a great guy who in January will be head of the NY Conference of Mayors and that's something the Maple City can be proud of.
As for me, the final total was 2137-1969. The people who wanted to vote did vote and the result is the City Council remains the same.
It was a tough race, and for all my opponent did right in terms of GOTV, the key mistake was going negative against someone most residents think has done a good job, even if they thought it was time for a change.
A positive vision for change does not include being nasty. Race over...time to move on.

Council of Mayors must NOT have had many takers for that role
Can we now go back to hating Vaugh. Those were such happy days.
no big accomplishment to be head of the Conference of Mayors. Only qualification is getting re-elected often enough to move up the chairs automatically. LOL
918,, Gatubg Vaugh was an obsession of yours and yours only. You have coddled him for two years now about people hating him... Half of the city of Ogdensburg thinks hes an A--hole the other half knows it.....
9:18 QFT !! Vaugh is done , through , history .
He obviously knew he would have been CRUSHED in any election here, so he turned and hightailed it out of Dodge .
That said :hopefully he finds a real job and PAYS taxes
Right you are mayor, the race is over.
