In Metro Races, Stacey and Chase Win

Bob Stacey and Sam Chase have won seats on the Metro council.

Stacey leads his opponent, Jonathan Levine, 85 percent to 15 percent, for Metro Council Seat 6. The seat was vacated by councilor Robert Liberty in 2011; former Gov. Barbara Roberts was appointed to fill out the term.

In the Metro District 5 race, Chase was leading his four opponents with 58 percent of the vote. They’re vying to replace current councilor Rex Burkholder.

Metro seats are nonpartisan; any candidate who finishes the primary with a majority is elected outright and doesn’t have to face a November runoff.
