Las Vegas will have a new female mayor whose last name that will start with the letter "G". From the Las Vegas Sun:
Former private school administrator Carolyn Goodman and Clark County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani will face off in June to decide who will be the next mayor of Las Vegas. Goodman, wife of Mayor Oscar Goodman, made it to the general election easily, with 37 percent of the vote, while Giunchigliani secured second place by a scant 15 votes over fellow county Commissioner Larry Brown. Businessman Victor Chaltiel landed fourth with 14 percent of the vote. City Councilman Steve Ross earned about 6 percent of the vote, placing him in fifth. Brown said late Tuesday that he will endorse Giunchigliani. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/apr/05/early-voting-results-carolyn-goodman-lead-larry-br/ This is an easy choice. In Carolyn Goodman, she actually has run a business (Meadows School), met a payroll, has had to deal with bureaucracy and understands city government. In Giunchigliani, you have a liberal extremist lawyer who is pro union and anti-business. I am a little surprised that Goodman didn't get 50+% of the votes to win outright, but when you have 18 candidates, that is difficult to do. The City of Las Vegas really has two completely different candidates: a pro-business moderate candidate or an anti-business candidate pro-union candidate. Simple choice: Carolyn Goodman.
