So she lost by about 500 votes. It was a close race. I guess it's time to get behind her opponent, Steve Doyle, even though I don't like his campaign tactics. This is the part about primaries, supporting someone who you ended up not really respecting because of the way they run their campaign.
I'm pretty sad, it's the end of my mothers political life. She did win reelection to the Holmen School Board so at least she still has that.
Thanks to all on this site who supported her. It was a hard fought race and sometimes the best candidate just doesn't win.
