Ransom leads Lind in Ronald Wastewater District election
Thursday, November 10, 2011
By Evan Smith
Former Shoreline City Councilman Bob Ransom led incumbent Ronald Wastewater Commissioner Arnie Lind on the second day of election returns Wednesday night.
Ransom held a 52 percent to 48 percent lead over Lind in the District, which includes Shoreline and a part of the Point Wells area in southwest Snohomish County designated for a condominium development.
Elections officials in both counties had counted over half the expected number of ballots by Wednesday night.
Both counties plan to release updated counts at the end of the business day Thursday with the next results on Monday, after the Veterans' Day Holiday.
Ransom was a member of the Shoreline City Council from 1995 to 2007, the last two years as mayor. He lost a re-election bid to Councilman Terry Scott in 2007.
He was a member of the Shoreline School Board from 1983 to 1991.
Ransom ran as a Republican candidate for State representative in 2002, losing to Democrat Maralyn Chase by a 56 percent to 44 percent margin.
Lind is seeking a third six-year term on the three-member board.

This race makes me SO SAD! Mr. Lind has quietly been doing a phenomenal job at this position. Mr. Ransom, if you win this race, I hope you will continue to keep THE RONALD DISTRICT independent! If our rates get poured into the City of Shoreline's control, it will be you I blame. I should have worked harder to keep Mr. Lind in place.
Hooray, Bob!! So glad you are winning!
