So here we have one candidate who communicates with the public and campaigned more than the others. She loses to the top vote getter who never filed a petition , misses meetings and doesnt' campaign. What more can be said?

Mickey Mouse could have been in the write in position. This is what happens when you have a secret rift in the Repub.Club, other unenlightened Repubs voting straight line as always and Dems trying to knock Brown out by giving the rejected repub a vote. Still 349 votes to be counted. Hopefully this situation will correct itself.

The rift has been going on since the one republican candidates daughter was on school board and the two rep candidates did not agree on what was going on at the school at that time. Anyone know how many meetings Rifle has missed during his term? Totally ridiculous and he gets voted in...plus, anyone know what he has put his neighbor through for years? Barbara deserves to win, she will fight for our community and not be a yes person!!!!

Thanks for explaining all this. Hard to believe that even though there was a rift with Brown and Riffle that Brown didnt get someone else on his ticket in the primary to fill the slot. Better yet why didnt he try to reach out to Barbara? Riffle will probably try to challenge Brown for the Mayor slot but at the very least cause problems on committee and the party since they totally disowned him. Brown should have reached out the Barbara and put Mullica first instead of the party and the old boys club coming first.

How could Brown reach out to Rheault? She's a Dem. They couldn't run together. Looks like nobody on either side wants to be involved in Mullica politics. It would be great if egos didn't get in the way and they gave the Mayor & Deputy Mayor positions to Sliva, Hagaman or Walther. We need some kind of shakeup. How can you say that they totally disowned Riffle? The Republican Club put on their FB page to vote straight line B & that included him.
To 10:23, "deserves to win" does not apply to politics. Many highly educated, community minded individuals lose elections to dumb unethical clucks all the time.
