District 13 Update: The Final Numbers
With all 45 precincts reporting, Jennifer Staubach Gates got 64 percent of the 10,350 votes to Leland Burk’s 35 percent.
Meanwhile, we may have seen Richard Sheridan’s final political campaign. I overheard someone at Gates’ party say that Sheridan had a bet going with teenage candidate Jacob King: If King garnered more votes than Sheridan, the rabblerouser supposedly promised to never run again. Well, King got 77 votes, more than double Sheridan’s 28.
