Here are the results from Mesa's primary election last night. Here is the link to the County Recorder's Site which also has the early votes listed so you can see them.
Dave Richins, Alex Finter, and Dennis Kavanagh have secured their seats on the council with Dina Higgins and Phil Austin going into a runoff for District 5's seat. I have heard a lot of people say that they were surprised by the big lead Higgins was able to gather. If you look at her early ballot counts, you can see that she had a 1200 vote lead right out of the gate. That's very impressive. It will be interesting to see how having another race in District 5 will impact the Mayor's race as well.
Congratulations to everyone who was elected last night. Good luck!

That's an interesting point about District 5 voting again along with the mayoral runoff. Griswold definitely has the name recognition in his home district, but I wonder how that district voted in the Mayoral race. Are his neighbors tired of him and "business as usual", or were they happy with his representation?
The run off in District is Higgins and Austin, final counts were announced today.
