Election Analysis: Candidate Linda Borgert’s message seemed to resonate with voters this election day. While she didn’t win a seat on council, she did gain more votes than a sitting council member and nearly tie another.

Borgert received 2959 votes or 7.99%. Borgert handily beat sitting council member John Broughton by 961 votes and nearly tied sitting council member David Baker who recieved 3036 votes or 8.19%.


Borgert’s message of returning Beavercreek to the citizen’s definately hit a nerve. While the lion’s share of the vote may have gone to others, Borgert did end up coming in a respectable seventh in a field of 11 candidates and only fell 880 votes short of securing a seat on city council.


Borgert says, “”I was very pleased with the amount of votes that I got. I want to thank everyone who voted for me, those who contributed to my campaign, and especially my family and friends who supported me in this. At this time, I have not decided whether or not to run again in 2009. I am exploring my options, including running for a County office in 2008.”
