Election count update

*UPDATED*
Jacques apparent victor in Town Council election

Results of the latest ballot count by the Skagit County Auditor shows that the formerly too-close-to-call La Conner Town Council position 1 election has flipped. Results today showed incumbent Jacques Brunisholz with a comfortable 18-vote lead over his challenger, Marna Hanneman. In earlier counts, Hanneman appeared to be leading by single digits.

At this point it’s looking like the only newcomer to be seated on the Council in January is likely to be Dan O’Donnell, who’s not really new. He previously served two terms on the council and one term as Mayor.

The county estimates there are 30 ballots left to be tallied county-wide. No more numbers are scheduled to be released until the election is finalized and certified on Nov. 29
