Louisville Metro Council election: Republicans sweep every contested seat

LOUISVILLE. THE MAKEUP OF LOUISVILLE METRO COUNCIL WAS ON THE LINE. SEVEN DISTRICTS WERE CONTESTED AND REPUBLICANS WALKED AWAY WITH ALL SEVEN SEATS IN DISTRICT 12. REPUBLICAN NEWCOMER JONATHAN JOSEPH FLIPPED THAT SEAT WHEN HE NARROWLY DEFEATED INCUMBENT RICK BLACKWELL. THAT RACE WAS DECIDED BY LESS THAN 100 VOTES. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME, BUT A LITTLE MORE CONVINCING IN DISTRICT 14, WHERE REPUBLICAN CRYSTAL BASS DEFEATED INCUMBENT CINDY FOWLER AND JIMMY MULVEY. WOOLDRIDGE FLIPPED DISTRICT 24 WHEN SHE DEFEATED DEMOCRAT TYRA THOMAS WALKER. 비바카지노 Viva맥스카지노�S MADISON ELLIOTT IS LIVE WITH THE JEFFERSON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY TONIGHT WITH REACTION TO THEIR BIG WINS. MADISON. HEY, GUYS. GOOD EVENING. THE ROOM HAS NOW SINCE CLEARED OUT, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AS PEOPLE SAT IN THESE SEATS RIGHT HERE. NOT ONLY DID REPUBLICANS FLIP THREE METRO COUNCIL DISTRICTS, BUT THEY ALSO MAINTAINED FOUR. LET맥스카지노�S START WITH DISTRICT 24. THAT IS A DISTRICT WHERE A CURRENT COUNCILWOMAN, MADONNA FLOOD, WAS IS RETIRING. SHE IS A DEMOCRAT AND THEY WERE HOPING TO HAVE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT SUCCEED HER, BUT INSTEAD REPUBLICAN JENNY MULVEY. WOOLRIDGE BEAT DEMOCRAT TYRA THOMAS WALKER FOR THAT SEAT IN DISTRICT 14. REPUBLICAN CRYSTAL BASS UNSEATED SYDNEE FOWLER TO REPRESENT SOUTHWEST JEFFERSON COUNTY AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST WINS OF THE NIGHT FOR REPUBLICANS JONATHAN JOSEPH UNSEATED DEMOCRAT AND INCUMBENT RICK BLACKWELL, WHO SERVED ON METRO COUNCIL SINCE 2003 AND IS THE BUDGET CHAIR. JOSEPH, WHO IS A TEACHER AT BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL, WAS EMOTIONAL AS HE WAS SPEAKING WITH US, SAYING HE RESPECTS BLACKWELL, BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM TO SERVE HIS DISTRICT. I THINK WHAT MAKES ME EMOTIONAL ABOUT ALL OF IT IS JUST KNOWING HOW HARD THE FIGHT WAS AND HOW HARD THE BATTLE WAS, AND HOW MUCH I LOVE MY HOMETOWN AND LOVE MY AREA OF TOWN AND THE IDEA THAT I GET TO REPRESENTATIVES LIKE THE GREATEST HONOR OF MY LIFE. I맥스카지노�VE STUCK TO MY GUNS AT COMMUNITY OVER POLITICS, AND WE GOT TO STOP LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT AND LOOK DOWN THE MIDDLE AND WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS WORK. SO OUR MOTTO WAS FOUR PLUS THREE EQUALS 12. WE NOW HAVE MORE REPRESENTATIVES ON METRO COUNCIL THAN WE맥스카지노�VE EVER HAD SINCE THE MERGER. I맥스카지노�M PINCHING MYSELF THAT REPUBLICANS HELD ON TO DISTRICTS 16, 18, 20 AND 22. THIS NOW BRINGS THE MAKEUP OF METRO COUNCIL TO REPUBLICANS. THERE맥스카지노�S 12 REPUBLICANS ON METRO COUNCIL VERSUS 14 DEMOCRATS.
