We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

A Katie Wilson for mayor campaign graphic that says we're right on track! today we won about 55% of the newly counted ballots. we are within 2% of the incumbent. if the drop on Monday follows the same trajectory, we will be squarely ahead. it's going to be a long weekend. many ballots are being challenged! Make sure you track your ballot at the link in bio. our amazing volunteers will be working to make sure every vote counts.
