SF Mayor's Race Finale

Argus Leader:

Dave Munson bucked history Tuesday by winning a second term as mayor, beating Augustana College President Bruce Halverson by almost 900 votes.

Munson, 64, became the first person in more than 30 years to win a mayoral runoff after taking the most votes in the first election. Since 1974, there had been five mayoral runoffs, and in each one of those elections, the person who won the most votes in the first election lost in the runoff.

Munson had 13,983 votes, or 51.6 percent.
