Joseph Garren received 30% of the vote and Walt Grzenikowski about 10%.
“I’m ecstatic that I won, but to win by such a pretty good margin, I’m ecstatic over that – over the top,” White said, shortly after learning the results of the race. “Even up until I went home today at 6:30 p.m., I was not sure how this was going to turn out; it’s hard to gauge people when you talk to them or when you see them.
“I’m so thrilled to be able to do this for the city I’ve lived I for over 30 years, and to serve people in a different capacity,” she added. “I’m still going to do what I love to do, which is work with people all the time.”
