Update - Shoreline City Council Race FINAL

In a remarkable outcome, from an initial election night deficit, Jesse Salomon has been elected to the Shoreline City Council, Pos #6 by 119 votes! 


King County Elections has posted the "Official Final" results on their website.

In the original election night count, Salomon was behind by about 470 votes and has now won by 119.
That is a very large gain on a local election.  He defeated former Shoreline Planning Commissioner Robin McClelland.

His campaign worked very hard, even on election day, with each volunteer calling hundreds of voters to
"Get Out The Vote". He had doorbelled every precinct and highlighted themes on Point Wells, Traffic Safety and "moving Shoreline forward".

Salomon is a Ridgecrest resident and serves on the Ridgecrest Neighborhood Council. He is an attorney and public defender. This is his second run for public office having run for the State Senate in Whatcom County and having served on the Whatcom County Planning Commission.

Jesse Salomon Leads His Council Race as Certification Approaches Tomorrow, 11/29

Council Candidate Jesse Salomon Still in Lead by 109 Votes -

Tuesday King County Elections will certify all races after the Canvassing Board meets at 8:30 AM.
Results are scheduled to be posted at noon.

Jesse Salomon is running for Pos #6 on the Shoreline City Council to fill the seat now held by Terry Scott.  Salomon is a 35 yr old public defender and Ridgecrest resident. He has been building a lead in his council race for the last two weeks.

On Election Night, Salomon was behind Robin McClelland, former Shoreline Planning Commissioner by over 400 votes.  With the 109 vote lead he now holds, an official recount could only take place if his opponent requested one and was willing to pay for it. The lead of 109 votes is now beyond the margin for  a mandatory recount.
