Short diary here, but let's have some good news.
Congratulations to one of the newest city council members in Mountain View, California: Ken Rosenberg.... our own BayAreaKen.
I'm sure that Ken will write a diary himself, at some point soon, but I wanted to get some good news out in an otherwise bleak day.
Nine candidates vied for three open seats on the council.
Results are here:
Pat Showalter 3,571 16.57%
Ken Rosenberg 3,188 14.79%
Leonard "Lenny" Siegel 2,869 13.31%
Lisa Matichak 2,461 11.42%
Greg Unangst 2,306 10.70%
Ellen Kamei 2,215 10.28%
Margaret Capriles 2,122 9.85%
Mercedes Salem 1,454 6.75%
Jim Neal 1,362 6.32%
Absentee and provisionals have to be fully counted, of course, but Ken is likely to hold on to a seat.

Congrats, Ken!
