primary results

our candidates won the primary!













these guys (donning white cowboy hats no doubt inspired by the article in the indy) will be our new county commissioners (most likely, anyway - vanderbeck still has to defeat his republican opponent in november). the grassroots work WORKED! and our canvassing was not for naught.

hooray!

a couple of articles about the race and the outcome in the n&O and the herald-sun.

tracy and i celebrated with huge crowd (well, huge for pittsboro) last night at the general store (what would we do without the g.s.??) and as they released the results, we realized: "score!" we moved to the right county for sure. if we had lost, i think we both would have seriously considered our plans to stay in chatham county - our quality of life would have quickly gone down the tubes, not to mention our property values. but with these commissioners, we're feeling so optimistic that this county and our town might really turn into the land we want to call home.

hooray! :)
