Ed Thompson will be Tomah's mayor once again.

Thompson, who served as mayor of Tomah from 2000 to 2002, defeated incumbent mayor Chuck Ludeking by nearly a 2-1 margin Tuesday. Thompson received 970 votes to Ludeking's 494. Thompson, who ran on a platform of change for Tomah and less government spending, left the mayor's office to run for governor in 2002. Ludeking has been mayor since Thompson left office in 2002.

In the contested City Council races, Pete Peterson defeated incumbent Pam Buchda in the 4th District. Peterson received 119 votes to Buchda's 90. In the 6th District, Dennis Workman defeated Howard Nauman 102 to 95. In the 8th District, Joanne Westpfhal won over Larry Siekert. Westpfhal won 88 to 65.

In the Tomah School Board race, challenger Judy Deming and incumbent Deb Buswell have clearly won two of the three open seats. The third remains in doubt. Incumbent Joan Greendeer-Lee led challenger Darren Price by just 34 votes with 21 of 22 precincts reporting. Challengers Brian Moravec and Todd Stark finished fifth and sixth.

" Why would Ed not run for Governor again any money he made on his campaign that never got spent he got to keep. What building will he buy this time?? Just remember Ed that anyone that does not pay there taxes gets EXTRA time just like you did .I don't know how you think a town could run with out taxes being paid but I am sure you will show us in the next two years!!!

" Congrats Ed,

As a Democrat with some fiscally conservative views, I am proud to support you. I sounds as if the incumbent did fine job but people just like Ed. Congrats!

" Ed Thompson spent a grand total of $20.00 dollars on his campaign for Tomah Mayor.

He is thinking of running for Governor again someday and he thinks he would have to raise a couple of hundred dollars in that race. "

" Well, Ed won again, now he gets to walk into a failing economy, taxes galore and they are going to go up, it's not his fault, they are going to thanks to the one thing we needed a safety building. Now I hope everyone understands it will take a few years to level off and have whatever programs ed has in store to take effect and work properly. But all in all Good Luck again Ed, your gonna need it. "

" Heh -- it appears RTFM just said the same thing as Chris in fewer words, and from the ADFs perspective. Makes me want to hang a big cross in my office, just to tick off intolerant jerks like that.

" Well, the new school board members should have their collective hands full with this new Federal lawsuit, which alleges that a Tomah senior's artwork was unconstitutionally censored and disregarded based on it's religious content. It looks like the board's push for diversity training is beginning to bear it's fruits! We told you that the diversity agenda was really about silencing any voice that states certain things are inherently right and wrong. Furthermore, it creates an environment hostile toward Christianity, and that FACT is becoming crystal clear in light of this lawsuit. Come on Ms. Demming, I know that you and your ecumenical society have got to see the dangers of the diversity agenda and the resulting environment of intolerance toward Christians! I told you that this agenda would lead to bad things for the district! "Tolerance for everyone and everything, except Christianity." Thank you Alliance Defense Fund and A.P. P.S. If you don't know about this lawsuit, first thank the Journal for it's "excellent" local coverage and then check out the LaCrosse Tribune or even Foxnews.com. "
