Unofficial city results from the Nov. 3 election, as tallied in the Lincoln County clerk’s Nov. 10 report, show several mayoral races decided by clear unofficial margins and a few closer ones, all of them still unofficial with about 97 percent of ballots counted.
In Newport, Jan Kaplan had 2,844 votes and Sandy Roumagoux had 1,401 in the mayor’s race. For three at-large council seats, the unofficial order was Angel Aparicio-Reyes 3,045, C.M. Hall 2,719, David N. Allen 2,574 and Robert Emund 2,055. In Lincoln City, Susan Wahlke had 2,298 votes for mayor and Marci Baker had 1,998. Unofficial council results there included Nicole Petersen with 996 votes in Ward I; Carolyn Nguyen 780 and Taylor Krueger 603 in Ward II; and Stephen Percy with 843 in Ward III.
In Toledo, Tracy Mix had 781 votes for mayor and Frank Silvia III had 487. In Waldport, Jan Hansen had 569, Tony Thimakis 430 and Silas H. Lester 97. Yachats Mayor Nicole Hedlund had 462 unofficial votes, with no opponent listed in the report. Depoe Bay Mayor Joseph “Joe” Cannon had 683. Siletz Mayor Will Worman had 356.
Council totals for those smaller cities are in the same unofficial report, including three at-large seats in Waldport, where Michelle Severson, Wendy Rush Knudson and Laura Matthews led the unofficial count, and two at-large seats in Yachats, where Catherine A. Whitten-Carey and Kathy Theilacker led. None of this is certified. The secretary of state will certify statewide results on Dec. 10, and counties have until Nov. 24 to resolve ballot challenges.
