According
to the auditor’s office, 64 of 65 precincts have been counted, and I
received 31,369 votes with the next closest winner receiving 29,840
(there were 3 seats available, and my name along with the 3 incumbents
were listed).  Apparently I was the only one doing any campaigning
as a newspaper article had noted after doing separate interviews with
us all.  Fortunately, only my picture appeared on the front page
of the “Leader” article last Friday.  It was a positive note for
our campaign.  So when I am sworn in on Monday, January 3rd, and
follow up with our meeting,  I will experience my first elected
office since college days over 25 years ago.  



There is
one important item I want to address during my 4 year tenure, and that
is to have MERCURY tested for on the waterways in Scott County. 
Testing is done twice a year on the streams in our county, but MERCURY
is not on the list of things to be checked. Hopefully, that can be
addressed.   Thanks again to all who helped and to those who
voted for me.  A special thank you to Linda Thieman who placed a section on the blog
for information about my campaign, and to DFA for their support. 
The teamwork in this organization is inspirational…..DEAN ON!…..NOW
MORE THAN EVER!

Congratulations,
Molly!  Can't think of anyone more perfectly suited to the
position since you live and breathe environmental protection.  A
job well done!  We are very proud of you!
