My Guesses

I wasn't sure if I would even run this exercise in futility. Nobody knows for sure until sometime tomorrow night. It's all guesswork based on trends and gut feelings! That being admitted to up front, here are my predictions/hopes/shots in the dark:

Mayor
Henry 62 / Kelty 38 - The top race won't even be close.

1st District City Council
Boyd 46 / Smith 52 / Peters 2 - I haven't heard alot about this race, no news is good news for the incumbent.

2nd District City Council
Goldner 52 / Schmidt 47 / Bartels 1 - Goldner will edge Schmidt. Change is in the air.


3rd District City Council
Didier 61 / McBride 37 / Diaz 2 - Same comment as on the 1st District.


4th District City Council
Stewart 52 / Harper 48 - Stewart's run a strong grass-roots campaign against Harper's throwing money (mostly Freeland fundage) at the race. Stewart by a hair.

5th District City Council
Pape 64 / Buskirk 33 / Fuller 3 - Pape! Sorry, Roy. You are old school name recognition.


6th District City Council
Hines 76/Smith 21/Enders 3 - I spent most of my life in this district. Smith WHO?

At Large
Bender, Crawford, Shoaff - This one's too close to call percentages on!

Meet the Candidates - Sunday, October 14!

We hope you will join us on Sunday, October 14th when we open our home to our friends and neighbors for a "meet and greet" with Tom Henry and Chris Stewart! Tom and Chris will be here from 2-4 pm to answer your questions and share their visions for Fort Wayne with you.



We will be serving up refreshments and light food. If you are able to share your Sunday afternoon with us, please RSVP to John Good.

STEWART! for 4Th District City Council

Chris Stewart is running for Fort Wayne City Council, District 4. His simple reason for seeking public office:

I care about the community and our future, and I want to make things better. I believe you and your fellow 4th District residents deserve responsive, committed leadership, and that’s why I want to be your city council representative.

If you share my views, and you want to make Fort Wayne a stronger, better community, I would appreciate your support in November.

My priorities, if elected, will include:

Listening to you and your fellow voters.

Ensuring that 4th District residents get the city services and support they pay for.

Seeking to help promote and attract business investment with smart growth strategies and a commitment to the expansion of our infrastructure.

Applying COMMON SENSE principles to government, making decisions based on what’s right for our present and our future.

Working to limit the reach of government in our lives.

Demanding accountability from local government.
