The certified results show that:
Luke Ravenstahl got 607 votes
Josh Wander got 189 votes
Patrick Dowd got 161 votes
and
Carmen Robinson got 42 votes
I received almost a fifth of the Pittsburgh Republican vote in the mayoral primary. That was with only 3 days and no money, imagine what we could do with more time and money!
Luke has, for the time being, accepted the nomination and will be running on both ballots against Independent Kevin Acklin.
Isn't it a sad state of affairs when three out of four of the top Republican write-in candidates in Pittsburgh were Democrats! What does this say about Pittsburgh's abused political system?
Thank you again for the 189 people that stood up to the plate at the last minute to try and help Pittsburgh stay (become, maybe?) a Democracy consisting of multiple parties!
As the 'esteemed' Republican governor of California once said, "I'll be back!"
