{news} New London results

[Andy Derr]

	Hello, folks.  We didn't win in New London yesterday, but we 
came pretty close.

	Bob Stuller and Andy Derr got 1094 votes and 1186 votes 
respectively, placing 13th and 10th out of 19 candidates for City 
Council. The top 7 candidates were elected, and the #7 winner got 
1319 votes, so we were both within 225 votes of getting elected.  Two 
years ago we were 800 and 1000 votes from election.  Major progress!

	Ken Hanson placed 8th of 14 candidates in his race for Board 
of Education; the top 7 candidates were elected.  He was 50 votes 
short of election!  So close!  He received 1280 votes, over 550 more 
than in 2003.  This one was a heartbreaker.

	This was by far our best campaign and our best finish!   Wait 
till next time!  Can you tell I'm a Red Sox fan?  We'll post more 
complete results on our <http://www.nlgreens.org/>web site as soon as 
we can.

	Andy Derr, for the New London Greens
