At the end of the evening on November 3rd, 2009, Lakewood’s general election results bring together a largely familiar cast of characters in Lakewood politics. The one outlier of the day, Monique Smith, will hold one of three At-Large City Council seats, beating out former Ward 2 council person, Ryan Patrick Demro in a closely contested race. Smith will be join Nickie Antonio and Brian Powers, both of whom retain their current seats on council, with Powers coming in as the top vote getter of the six candidates. Coming up short were the remaining three candidates Ryan Patrick Demro, Daniel Shields, and newcomer Jared Shapiro; each candidate received 5229, 3789, and 1984 votes, respectively. At large council seats are held for four years and, unlike ward specific council members, serve the entire geographic area of the City of Lakewood.

With a show of overwhelming support from the voters, Nickie relaxes with
family and friends.
