Dem's PrePrimary Convention - CD1 winners & losers



The results are:
  Robert Pidcock     25 votes     4.16%  
  Martin Heinrich     339 votes     56.41%  
  Rebecca Vigil-Giron     67 votes     11.15% 
  Michelle Lujan Grisham     170 votes     28.29%  

While Martin's vote didn't come as much of a surprise, he's been running for over a year, Michelle did much better than expected - securing the second spot on the June Primary ballot.

Questions remain if Robert Pidcock or Rebecca Vigil-Giron will try to gather the additional signatures necessary to get on the ballot. It appears that they only have a few days do so.

One piece of trivia deserves mention - since Martin won his City Council seat with a plurality, if memory serves me correctly - 30% of the vote, this is the first election where he actually won a majority of the votes cast.
