Fewer than 7% of Bloomington’s 55,602 registered voters  (3685 of 55,602) took part in the August 8 primary election that determined which City Council candidates will appear on our November ballot. 

Congratulations to Eldon Spencer for his decisive (41%) first-place finish for District II.  He’ll face Shawn Nelson (23%) in November.  Lower votes for the other 2 candidates – Cheryl Lewis (15%) and Lenny Klevan Schmitz (21%) - ended their campaigns.

For the At-Large seat, Nathan Coulter (35%) and Michael Arulfo (25%) will compete in November. 

-       Nathan Coulter is a DFL Legislative Assistant in the MN Senate

-       Mike Arulfo was a National Pledged Delegate at Large, Democratic National Committee and delegate to the DNC National Convention in Philadelphia in 2016

Appointed incumbent Kim Vlaisavljevich (18%) and life-long Bloomington resident Susan "Hofmeister" Woodruff (22%) will not be on November’s ballot.
