BOB SCOTT ELECTED MAYOR

TWO WELL KNOWN FORMER MAYORS COMPETED IN WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY CLOSE RACE TO BECOME SIOUX CITY'S NEXT MAYOR ON TUESDAY.

BOB SCOTT DEFEATED TOM PADGETT WINNING WITH 51% OF THE VOTE TO 49% FOR PADGETT.

THAT REVERSED THE PRIMARY WHERE PADGETT WON BY 600 VOTES. 
       

SCOTT STEPPED UP HIS CAMPAIGN AFTER FINISHING SECOND IN THE PRIMARY.

PADGETT SAYS HE WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LOSS BUT WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE THE CITY FOR THE TWO YEARS REMAINING ON HIS CURRENT CITY COUNCIL TERM.

THE UNOFFICIAL VOTE TALLY HAD SCOTT WITH 5304 AND PADGETT WITH 5191 VOTES.
