It was the night that Phil Quinn had hoped for. Just before nine o’clock on Tuesday, November 6th on the third floor of the city building, the results of the 2007 local election were posted. There it was in black and white on the screen; Phil Quinn had been elected to Richmond’s Common Council garnering 3,765 votes. Phil Quinn and Republican Bob Goodwin (3,493 votes) reigned victorious over Democratic incumbents Al Glover (3,450 votes) and Gil Klose (3328 votes). Phil Quinn and Bob Goodwin also beat Vicki Meek (2,947 votes). Quinn and Goodwin join incumbent Diana Pappin who received 3,931 votes.
Check back soon for pictures and video from the City Building and Phil Quinn's reaction!
FROM THE DESK OF PHIL QUINN
"I want to take current issues facing the city and target long term solutions. I want to help strictly enforce the new curfew law, improve the quality of low income housing offered and help lead Richmond as a business friendly community. I ask you to help strengthen the community by purchasing products from local businesses. I recently helped facilitate the free wireless zones in the Center City, and helped found the Young Adult Professionals networking group. As an incoming member of Richmond's Common Council, together we can help to make Richmond a great place to live!"
