Republican Ousted By Democrat in Shock Election Defeat [View all]
Republican Ousted By Democrat in Shock Election Defeat - Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/alaska-fairbanks-mayor-election-democrat-republican-10844700
Alaska's City of Fairbanks Mayor David Pruhs, a Republican, conceded to Mindy O'Neall, a Democrat, in the mayoral election on Tuesday night.
According to preliminary election night results, O’Neall received 1,808 votes (54 percent) and Pruhs received 1,528 votes (45.7 percent). Republicans have held the mayoralty for over a decade.
“The race is over. Mindy O’Neall won. A few votes yet to be counted, but I'm down by 250 votes. The voters have spoken,” Pruhs told Alaska’s News Source.
Pruhs blamed low voter turnout and O’Neall having the support of the state Democratic Party for his defeat.
