Thank You - Post to Facebook and Myspace Users

Thank YOU to everyone for all of YOUR support and positive energy the last month and a half. Considering we spent under $500.00 taking our campaign to the streets, did not even get bio articles from both print media outlets – and received almost 5000 votes and lost by 10% a movement is growing here in San Marcos.

Our internet campaign also proves that individuals are active online spreading the word on important local issues. Two issues I am strongly involved now include a move to a no kill shelter here our community NOW and bringing Texas Film here to San Marcos. Our work has just begun!
Best Wishes, Lisa Marie

"SAN MARCOS — Voters re-elected the incumbent council member and the sitting mayor and approved a nonbinding resolution to extend alcohol sales hours to 2 a.m.

San Marcos Mayor Susan Narvaiz, 50, defeated challengers Dave Newman, 51, and Texas State University student Daniel McCarthy, 20.

Narvaiz, an owner of a human resources consulting company who is seeking a second term, said, "I've been ahead all evening, so it makes me feel good. But I'm going to remain conscious because every vote does count."

Narvaiz won with 50.1 percent of the vote. She needed more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a run-off with Newman.

Newman is a retired pilot who made international headlines when he was arrested after he rescued a man from the San Marcos River; those charges were later dropped. He said as results came in, his campaign was planning a run-off campaign strategy.

"We're holding our breath here to see what our last precincts say," Newman said.

Council Member Chris Jones, 25, won with 55.6 percent of the vote against challenger Lisa Marie Coppoletta, 40, an instructor at Austin Community College.

"I'm glad the citizens are behind me, and now, it's time to do some work," he said."
