After a week of counting ballots, the numbers may have changed, but the results have stayed steady.

Ryan McIrvin continues to maintain a large lead over Monique Taylor-Swan in the race for council position no. 4, which was left open when Greg Taylor opted not to run for re-election.

As of Tuesday, McIrvin led with 65.86 percent, or 7.008 votes, to Taylor-Swan’s 33.85 percent, or 3,602 votes.

Mayor Denis Law ran unopposed for a third four-year term. Also unopposed was Ed Prince, who is completing his first term on the City Council. Ruth Perez, who was appointed in January to the seat vacated by Terri Briere’s death was elected to finish the term. Don Persson also ran unopposed and will serve a fifth term on the Council.

All received at least 97 percent of the vote in their race.

Carol Ann Witschi also will join the City Council in Position 3, the seat held by veteran Marcie Palmer, who decided this summer not to seek re-election. Palmer’s decision came too late to have her name removed from the ballot, but Witschi easily won anyway with 73.32 percent.

Also is appears that Carolyn Parnell’s long career as a Public Hospital District No. 1 commissioner is coming to an end. M. Chris Monson has slightly increased his lead, receiving 64.99 percent of the votes to Parnell’s 34.72 percent for Commissioner District No. 2.

The race for the open hospital district commission Position 4 seat was closer. Lawton Montgomery of Kent received 56.24 percent to Savannah Clifford-Visker’s 43.29 percent. They are separated by about 4,300 votes.

In the race for the Renton School Board of Directors, only Lynn Desmarais faced a challenger in the general election but after a week of counting she is comfortably ahead, receiving 63.18 percent of the vote to Larry Wright’s 36.52 percent.

Longtime School Board member Todd Franceschina ran unopposed, as did Gloria Hodge who is seeking an open seat on the School Board.
