OOPS.
Stanton's effort, which received a boost with the endorsement of Congressman Steve Cohen, showed great work throughout the county in edging the veteran Chism. Jackson, fortunately, turned out to be a non-factor, finishing a distant third, ahead of only newcomers Karen Woodward and Marion Brewer.
Now, the county ticket for August looks like this:
ASSESSOR - Cheyenne Johnson, who easily turned away Steve Webster yesterday by a 4-1 margin.
ATTORNEY GENERAL - Carol Chumney (unopposed yesterday)
GENERAL SESSIONS COURT CLERK - Ed Stanton, Jr.
COUNTY COMMISSION, DISTRICT 1 - Steve Ross, who will face newcomer Steve Basar. Basar upset culture warrior (and former office-holder) Marilyn Loeffel by a 51-49 margin. It is a tough but not impossible road for Ross, whose thoughtful blog posts at VIBINC show the depth of research that he would bring to the issues that face the county.
Let's support this Democratic team as they prepare for battle in August!

Stanton was the Little Engine That Could. I don't think anyone in the media called that one right. It was an upset.
