It would appear that Dave Jacobsen has turned back the challenge of former mayor Bob Benke and has been re-elected as mayor of New Brighton. This is excellent news, as Mayor Jacobsen has done an excellent job in his first term and will now have a chance to continue the steady progress he has made in improving the performance and credibility of local government in New Brighton.
It also appears that Benke ally Mary Burg will return to the city council and that Paul Jacobsen (no relation to the mayor) will be a newcomer on the council, as incumbent David Phillips fell short. Phillips had some personal legal issues early in his city council term, but he never let those issues interfere with his performance in office. It's too bad that he won't get another term, but I am hopeful that Paul Jacobsen will use his considerable personal skill set well as he embarks on his service to the city.
