For Bobby Wilson, the third time was the charm.
After unsuccessfully challenging District 1 City Councilwoman Darlene Harris twice in recent elections, Wilson beat the longtime North Side representative in Tuesday’s primary election.
At Wilson’s election-night party in Deutschtown, the mood was jubilant.
“As you know, I’m not used to winning,” Wilson said as supporters cheered. “But we won.”
Five seats on city council were part of the primary election on Tuesday as 10 challengers mounted campaigns to oust four incumbents. O’Connor ran unopposed in District 5 this year.
In District 9, Burgess beat out four challengers to earn his fourth term on council. He earned about 38.5% of the vote (1,998 votes) to continue representing Homewood, Larimer, East Liberty and other East End neighborhoods.
