The asterisk of my appointment to my town council has been erased. I am now a duly elected official! Wanted to post something last night but was too exhausted after 13 hours outside the polls and two celebratory glasses of wine. 😁

Wow! Congratulations! Nice to know at least someone who's level-headed in a position of responsibility.  Any future aspirations for a higher office? |

I think local government is the place for me. I like my day job and know I wouldn't be able to do that and a higher office. And holy crap, if getting a few hundred people to vote for you is stressful (I ran for a ward-specific position), I don't even want to think about a few thousand! |

Congrats! I tried to get appointed a few years ago, but they chose the ex radio dj. He quit this year, and one other person was up for reelection. So, 3 people ran for 2 spots, and the 2 newbies won. Vote count was around 200-300. (I live in a really small town.) The one neighbor who never bought popcorn from my kids when they sold door to door also won, despite neither my DH or I voting for (or against) him.

Vote count here was less than 100 people, but the city elections were already decided because the candidates were unopposed.
