The Ward 8 Democrats are pleased to release the results of our 2026 Straw Poll, which included all contests appearing on the June 16 Democratic Primary and Special Election ballot for Ward 8 voters.

The Straw Poll provided residents with an opportunity to engage in the electoral process, learn about Ranked Choice Voting, and hear directly from candidates seeking public office.

We thank the voters, candidates, campaigns, volunteers, and community partners who participated and helped make this event a success.

Please note that the results of the Ward 8 Democrats Straw Poll do not constitute an endorsement by the organization or its membership. The Straw Poll is intended solely as a voter education and engagement exercise.

As Election Day approaches, we encourage all Ward 8 voters to review their ballots carefully, learn about the candidates and issues, and make a plan to vote. Ballots may be cast by mail, during early voting, or on Election Day, June 16.

Democracy is strongest when voters are informed, engaged, and active participants in the process.
