| Yamil Hernandez |
Tuesday was a good day to be an incumbent on the Gaithersburg City Council, and a great day to be Yamil Hernandez. Councilmembers Neil Harris and Robert Wu appear to have won reelection in unofficial City election results. Hernandez has edged out Shanika Whitehurst to potentially claim the third Council seat. Those top four candidates were in a very close race, while Daniel Lukomsky and Omodamola Williams were further back with triple digit vote totals, compared to the potential winners' 2000+ votes each. Like the City of Rockville's election yesterday, turnout was very low at 12.45%.
Hernandez, who garnered attention with a very creative online video ad campaign, tweeted that "I'm having a hard time putting into text and finding the right words to express the range of emotions I feel right now" this morning. "Gratitude* - To Gaithersburg residents for entrusting me with your vote, and this opportunity to serve you. Add in a big thank you to all the volunteers, elected officials, and supporters who guided, counseled, and worked tirelessly on our campaign."
