In District 2, Thompson earned 147 of the 204 early votes, and DeLaCruz held 41.
As votes started the roll in through the night, Thompson and Miller s leads continued to expand. Final results showed Thompson with 417 votes, nearly 70% of the vote, which pointed toward his reelection.
Miller earned the most votes out of any SMD candidate with 896, beating DeWitt s 635. He credited his win to his team s old fashioned campaigning, which included phone calls and knocking on doors. I had someone tell me, you get a handshake out of someone, you seal their vote, and it worked, Miller said. I have a lot of learning to do . but I m looking forward to it.
