Election

There were a lot of close calls on election night, including the race between District 6 candidates Howard Wayne and Lori Zapf. Less than one percentage point kept their total vote numbers apart and they remained close until the end of the night, when Zapf won.

It was a close race and the fact that Donna Frye endorsed him was still not quite enough to give Wayne the push to win. Although Frye was expectant of Wayne's win all the way until, the end, despite trailing behind in the polls, by saying, "I still believe Howard will win."

However, the incoming District 6 representative on the city council will be Zapf.

District 6 accomplishments

According to west Clairemont representative to Donna Frye Keith Corry, after being asked what Frye and her team aimed to accomplish in her position as District 6 council woman, his answer was basically, we've already accomplished everything.

Elections are Nov. 2 and Frye has completed 10 years of service, making her ineligible to run for re-election.

However, Corry stressed that during Frye's time in office, emphasis was placed on accessibility to District 6 residents saying,"so people don't feel like we're sitting in our ivory tower downtown.”

This was accomplished several ways, according to Corry. One of which was the regularly scheduled meeting times for community members who wanted to speak with Frye.

Whether residents agree or disagree, her time is just about up in office and soon Clairemont residents will need to bring their issues to a new person.
