Incumbents Reflect on Election ResultsArden Hills’ residents re-elected David Grant as Mayor and Fran Holmes and Steve Scott as City Councilmembers in the November 6 Gen- eral Election. Grant received 3,603 votes. He ran unop- posed. Holmes received 2,577 votes. Scott received 2,087 votes. The challenger can- didate, Greg Rubenstein, received 1,533 votes. The mayor and councilmembers will serve four-year terms beginning January 2019. “It has been an honor to serve as your Mayor for the past eight years and for the previous 10 years as a councilmember,” said Mayor David Grant. “I want to thank everyone for their votes during this last election.” Grant said he looks forward to serv- ing as Mayor for four years and appreciates feedback from residents. “It takes resident input to run a city, and I look forward to your input,” he said. “Working together we will continue to make Arden Hills a great place to live, work and play.” Councilmember Holmes said talking with residents on the campaign trail gave her great insight into their concerns and helped her set an agenda for the next four years. “The TCAAP/ Rice Creek Commons development project is challeng- ing, and I will continue to work to reach an agreeable plan to move forward,” she said. “Please keep up the dialogue by contacting me at any time. Thank you for your vote.” Councilmember Scott said this was the first election cycle in 14 years that he has not worked as an election judge. “I’d like to thank the dozens of citizens who put in a very long day to assist with our voting expe- rience, including the many student judges I saw,” he said. “I hope they remain engaged in the process. “I’d also like to thank the candidates who filed and campaigned for office, particular- ly newcomer Greg Rubenstein,” he added. “I met Greg and his wife Marlys several times hard at work canvassing the neigh- borhoods.” Compiling results on election night Ramsey County administers elections for the City of Arden Hills and “they do it the old-fashioned way, meaning no internet transmission of data,” said City Clerk Julie Hanson. “They transport the physical ballots and corresponding data housed on a flash drive, along with a report, from the polling places to the Ramsey County Elections office, which can cause a delay of the final voting results,” Hanson said. “They have to allow time for the judges to allow all to vote, do the wrap-up procedures they need to do, and then transport the sealed ballots to downtown St. Paul. This is done to prevent hacking,” she added. David Grant Fran Holmes Steve Scott
