Unofficial preliminary election results

Submitted by Mike Benedetti on September 12, 2007 - 7:45am. ::
Transcribed from a PDF posted on the City website. At-Large 12 qualify for the election ballot, 6 will win seats. The following will be on the ballot:
Gary Rosen (incumbent)7,329
Konnie Lukes (incumbent)6,248
Kate Toomey (incumbent)5,979
Rick Rushton (incumbent)4,972
Dennis Irish (incumbent)4,521
Grace Ross4,208
Michael Germain3,968
Mike Perotto (incumbent)3,839
Joe Petty (incumbent)3,547
Morris Bergman3,379
William McCarthy3,093
Bill Coleman3,080
As predicted in our last post, Petty is the most vulnerable incumbent. The six candidates who did not get enough votes to qualify for the final election ballot:
John Mahoney3,006
Maritza Cruz2,319
Allison Alaimo2,318
James Callahan1,132
John Dellasanta986
Michael Grandone955
So it looks like 74 votes separated getting on the ballot (Bill Coleman) from not (John Mahoney). In the District 1 race, Joff Smith (2,046) and Joe Casello (1,299) will be on the ballot; Sam Rosario (858) did not qualify. In the District 5 race, William Eddy (1,731) and Richard Ball (1,233) will be on the ballot; Nicholas Plante (980) did not qualify. Note: Get this, from the T&G website:
