Stephen Swedlow is besting Jennifer Bae by better than 5,000 votes in the race for the Lipscomb vacancy in the 8th Subcircuit. Swedlow seems to have had a lot of backing from the local politicos, so perhaps the margin may be seen as disappointing to some.
But that's silly. All that matters (or should matter) to the candidate is getting one more vote than the next highest finisher.
Bradley R. Trowbridge has a better than 10,000 vote margin over the next closest competitor in the three-way race for the Gordon vacancy in the 8th. Third time may be the charm in his case.
Why would anyone think that Swedlow's margin is disappointing given endorsements? Endorsements from hack politicos are worthless, at best, and likely detrimental. Now will Mr. Swedlow please get his "yard" signs picked up. They have littered just about every street corner and median in the 8th Subcircuit.
