Strange to keep Briddell with City

I applaud Todd Strange for recognizing what an asset Michael Briddell is to Montgomery and bringing him back onto the city payroll. That took courage and is a good sign for the kind of administration he will have.

Montgomery Mayoral Election Night

The Montgomery Advertiser is posting the latest election results

.

7:59pm CDT: As of this moment, Michael Briddell is ahead of Todd Strange, but without knowing which precincts have reported, it’s hard to know what that means. Only about a quarter of the boxes are in. We
ll see how things develop.

8:04pm CDT: Another 23 boxes are in, and Todd Strange has pushed ahead, but it doesn’t look like he will cross the 50%+1 mark and there will be a runoff with Michael Briddell.

8:09pm CDT: Strange’s lead just surged, 12212 to 8392 for Briddell…spoke to soon…Strange may close this out tonight…

8:12pm CDT: Wow…with 85% of precincts reporting…Strange is right at 51%!

8:16pm CDT: WSFA has the numbers with percentages, which is what we really care about right now.

8:20pm CDT: As I say that, the Advertiser added percentages as well…way to go guys.

8:23pm CDT: It’s over…Todd Strange will be the next mayor of Montgomery, Alabama

Montgomery Mayoral Election Predictions

For someone who isn’t an expert in Montgomery politics, mooncat called it pretty well. I think after all the votes are counted, it will be a run-off between Todd Strange and Michael Briddell, but the voters will make their decision, and the entire river region will feel the impact of their decision.

Montgomery Gets a New Mayor Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day in Montgomery, the special election for a new mayor. Todd Strange is well ahead of the pack in polling and the question is whether he can pull a majority and avoid a run-off. I have supported Michael Briddell throughout the campaign, but I fear he will come up short.
