Clark-Murray raised the least of the District 9 candidates, but still won the race.
The council seats opened in May when council members Reggie Gaffney and Garrett Dennis resigned to run for state seats in the Senate and House, respectively. Both would have been ineligible for the general City Council election next spring due to term limit restrictions. Clark-Murray raised the least of the District 9 candidates at over $5,900. The two other candidates, Stanley McAllister Jr. and Danny Grabill, raised over $11,300 and $7,300, respectively.
"Talking with community members and reaching out to the community and going through the different precincts or the different neighborhoods in District 9 wasn't anything that was unfamiliar to me," Clark-Murray said. Gaffney raised the most during the campaign for District 7 at over $83,000 and won 39 percent of the vote. Barr raised the third highest amount at over $39,000 and won 20 percent. Kimberly Scott, a Democrat, obtained 16 percent of the vote.
"I can't say thanks enough for [voting], and I look forward to continuing meeting them, with folks, and winning this thing in November," Barr said after the results released. Clark-Murray and the winning District 7 candidate in November will have to run for re-election in the spring with the rest of City Council.
