Walker Returning To ECUA District 5
August 27, 2008
At the end of the night Tuesday, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority incumbent Larry Walker had the most votes in his race, and perhaps the most pies of any other candidate.
Walker defeated challenger Barry Tweedie to return to his District 4 seat on the ECUA, 7,445 votes (76.1%) to 2,337 (23.9%).
“I am very pleased, very proud of the vote” Walker said.
Walker had nothing but good words for his opponent. “Barry Tweedie did it right, the way every race should be done. We ran a clean race. I wish they all could be that way.”
As for the pie thing…Walker and his 92 supporters celebrated with a campaign gathering at the Village Inn on Nine Mile Road in Pensacola. Those 92 supporters down a total of 21 Village Inn pies during the night, Walker said.
