Trenton City Election

Lowery Wins City Election

     Turnout at special elections is generally nothing to write home about but Trenton's election Tuesday for a replacement city streets commissioner may have set a new low.  Even with several days of advance voting, only 109 Trentonians drifted in to participate in democracy.
     The city's Cindy Robertson confirmed today that the final vote was Tommy Lowery, 41; Don Taylor, 35; and David Moore, 33.
     Tommy Lowery, a veteran commissioner of the Dade County government, will take his seat at the next Trenton City Commission meeting on April 14.  He will serve out the unexpired term of Greg Houts, who resigned in August.  
      David Raines was originally slated to replace Houts, running unopposed in an earlier special election appended to the regular Trenton elections in November; but he died three days before that election.
