Matherne Wins Mayor Race

Congratulations to our new Mayor-Elect Jo Matherne; and to Carolyn Flagg who is re-elected to the Ward 2 Alderman seat and Thomas Averyheart who has been elected to the Ward 4 Alderman seat.

Lots of very qualified candidates running and it was a good race. All the candidates should be commended for their interest and energy in wanting to help make Brownsville a better place.

I can see all of them working together now to make the things they talked about during the campaign happen.

These are the unofficial numbers as I know them (none have been certified as yet):
