John D'Amico, West Hollywood Non-Incumbent, Wins Historic First Seat in City Council Race!

West Hollywood City Council frontrunner John D'Amico made history yesterday, when -- after a final count of 757 provisional and absentee ballots -- he surpassed two decades-old incumbents and pushed out their pet appointee for first place in the city election, LA Weekly Repotrs.

This is the first time since fabulous, gay-friendly West Hollywood's inception that a non-incumbent has earned the No. 1 spot.

D'Amico was in second place when polls closed last Tuesday, but netted a disproportionately high number of the remaining votes today for a triumphant win.
