Magnanimous in victory, gracious in defeat

Ms. Longrie speaks to the Pioneer Press, on the occasion of her getting fewer votes than anyone else on the ballot*

"Unfortunately, my demonstrated commitment to transparency and permanent protection of our neighbor preserves and being an advocate for the city is not a match for the deep pockets of those that support my opponent," she said. "Maplewood citizens now have to be worried about their pocketbooks and their right to speak."

I couldn't find any examples of her being magnanimous, but I'll keep looking.

* Mr. Nephew pointed this out. What he didn't mention is that the 6009 mayoral voters could have cast 12018 council votes, but only cast 11308. Had they been cast, those additional 710 council votes would have made the difference between Longrie's total and that of the worst performing council candidate even larger.
