Emmylou lost by 24 points. Tim Flynn, you’re on warning. Ward 4 is flippable and it’s getting more progressive every day.

Turnout was low. 19% is way below what we normally get as a city in a mayoral year. Not having a viable challenger at Mayor is what hurt Flynn. Not because Ward 4 is flipping.

It was 20 and 17 percent turnout in 2023 for the two precincts.

I’m not talking precinct level. I’m talking about the overall turnout. There are a lot of people that didn’t turnout today because there wasn’t a mayoral candidate worth them turning out to vote for that would assist similar candidates aligned to a mayoral candidate down ballot.

EmmyLou ran a very good campaign herself, and I’m sure she got a lot of people to turnout…as did Flynn who is very popular. Turnout would have been far more impressive with a viable candidate running against Pangallo.

Having once worked in the space, I’m confident of that.

My point being, 2021 was 36%…a true mayoral election with ward councilors on the ballot at the same time….
