Warpehoski wins in
contested 5th ward
Kailasapathy,
Peterson also newly
elected to City
Council
By GIACOMO BOLOGNA AND
JENNIFER CALFAS
Daily Staff Reporters
In the only contested election
for a seat on the Ann Arbor City
Council, Democratic candidate
Chuck Warpehoski defeated
Republican candidate Stuart
Berry for a seat in the city's
fifth ward.
With 73 percent of pre-
cincts reporting as of 2 a.m.
Wednesday, Warpehoski held
a 83 percent lead over Berry.
Warpehoski will replace cur-
rent Councilmember Carsten
Hohnke, who did not seek re-
election, and will nownjoin Sumi
Kailasapathy (D-Ward 1) and
Sally Hart Petersen (D-Ward
2), who both ran in unopposed
contests, as the three new coun-
cilmembers on the 10-person
council.
Incumbents Margie Teall (D-
Ward 4) and Christopher Taylor
(D-Ward 3) were also re-elected
in uncontested elections.
At a Democratic watch party
at Weber Inn in Ann Arbor,
Warpehoski said he was confi-
dent coming into the election,
particularly as Ward 5 is a heav-
ily Democratic-leaning district.
He noted he spent most of elec-
tion season campaigning for
his Democratic counterparts
instead of himself.
Once in office, Warpehoski
said his primary goal as a coun-
cilmember is to not be tied to any
single piece of policy, but rather
serve as a responsive represen-
tative committed to facilitat-
ing dialogue between members
of local government and Ann
Arbor residents.
"If I'm not listening to people,
people should be disappointed,
that's number one," he said.
"People deserve responsive gov-
ernment."
Maintaining security and
safety, infrastructure and parks
are some of the "nuts and bolts"
issues that Warpehoski said he
expects to face in his term. He
added that like Hieftje, he will
strive to improve public trans-
portation in Ann Arbor.
"I ran on transit," he said.
"I'm a big transit supporter."
Warpehoski said though
many citizens are in support of
increasing transit, funding and
implementation of the transpor-
tation programs can be a divi-
sive issue among residents and
government officials.
"I haven't heard anybody say
they're anti-transit, only anti-
specific programs," Warpehoski
said. "I'm going to do everything
I can for transit."
The first step, he said, is
determining a consensus among
local governments, Ann Arbor
government officials and resi-
dents on the issue.
While he said he is eager to
start his position on the council,
Warpehoski said the hard work
isn't over yet.
"When I entered this race, I
didn't think I knew how hard it
was going to be to campaign and
get elected. Now that I'melected
I recognize I still have a lot to
learn to be effective as a mem-
ber," he said.

I VOTED
Mayor to focus
on fiscal issues in
coming term
By GIACOMO BOLOGNA
Daily StaffReporter
Ann Arbor Mayor John Hief-
tje has been re-elected to his
seventh-consecutive term in
office.
With 71 percent of pre-
cincts reporting as of 1:30 a.m.
Wednesday, Hieftje led his
challenger, independent candi-
date Albert Howard, 84.1 per-
cent to 15.2 percent.
Hieftje attended a Democrat-
ic watch party at Weber Grill in
Ann Arbor where a few hun-
dred supporters, candidates
and politicians filtered in and
out of a packed hall plastered
with campaign posters. U.S.
Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.),
State Rep. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann
Arbor) and several Ann Arbor
City Council- members were
among those in attendance.
In an interview at the event,
Hieftje said he hopes to contin-
ue his current policies into the
next term. He added he plans to
work with the Ann Arbor City
Council to maintain the city's
economic health and continue
to advocate for environmental
issues.
"The biggest motivation has
been (that) I wanted to make
sure the city gets through the
great recession without a tax.
increase," Hieftje said.
Another key issue he plans on
focusing on is improving pub-
lic transit within the city and
county. At recent Ann Arbor
City Council meetings, Hieftje
has pushed for city funds for
public transit projects, includ-
ing a second rail station that he
said would provide the clean
public transportation needed
for a burgeoning workforce.
"With a growing number of
jobs in the city - about 68,000
people come to work in Ann
Arbor from outside of town -
we're seeing more and more
congestion," Hieftje said.
He said he wasn't very emo-
tional following reports of
election results, but just that
he was "eager get to back." He
did, however, note the special
challenges, especially fiscal dif-
ficulties, that will face city gov-
ernment in his next term.
"I probably should have been
the mayor in the 1990s because
there was a whole lot of money
in government back then that
isn't there anymore," he said.
In an interview at How-
ard's watch party in a com-
munity building located on
Williamsburg Drive, Howard
said despite his loss, he felt
honored to receive 15 percent of
the vote. He added that Hieftje
should be more interactive with
the Ann Arbor community.
"He needs to be more cau-
tious and he needs to be more
transparent," Howard said.
"Just to be more considerate to
people and not taking them for
granted."
Howard, who began his
political career when he ran in
the 2008 presidential election,
said that though he had previ-
ously competed on the national
stage, campaigning locally was
more difficult.
"This was more challenging
because it was on home turf,"
Howard said. "A lot of people
