Two losers in Elon College’s
city election Tuesday said their
campaigns signaled growing
dissatisfaction with current
officials and their handling of the
Cook Road bypass.
Two victorious incumbents,
meanwhile, said they want to
conceniratc on the city’s growth.
Mayor Jerry Tolley and
Alderman Gerry Francis, an Elon
College vice president and of
academic affairs, were to
second four-year terms. Former
mayor Robert Olsen also was
electcd to the Board of Aldermen.
Tolley defeated challenger
R.W. “Dick” Morrison by 174
votes, 459 to 285.
Four candidates vied for the
two open seats on the Board of
Aldermen. Tom Dean finished
third by 12 votes, with 369.Tcd
Reinheimer finished fourth with
260 votes.
The mayor and aldermen will
be sworn in during the first week
of December.
Morrison said Tuesday night
he lost because “not enough
people were concerned about
current issues that faced Elon. I’ll
I leave it at that.”
Prior to hearing the election
results, Morrison said: “We made
an impression on how elections
will be run in the future. The
voters do care about how the
government reacts to voters’
concerns.
“Many people shared their
opinions and the concerns of the
Cook Road issue, and concern that
the government body doesn’t
listen to them.”
The Cook Road bypass was
one of the hottest campaign
issues. The town board last year
approved constructing a four-lane
