A little trivia:

All of these communities mentionned her have new mayors! 72 BC municipalities have new mayors, 70 others are incumbents. Of the 70, 25 won by acclaimation and 7 of the 72 were also acclaimed.

Too bad about the mayor in Houston...I hear she "bared" her sole for her constituents!
:-)
(well,somebody had to say it...)
Ok,on the serious side,I believe she ran for the Conservatives in the federal election which may have led her supporters to think that she was not all that interested in being mayor anymore?
Had she won,she would have resigned anyway.
