Carolyn Goodman wins race for Las Vegas Mayor - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Carolyn Goodman , wife of Oscar Goodman, the current Mayor of Las Vegas, has won the Las Vegas Mayoral race beating Chris Giunchigliani.

With 100% of the precinct’s counted, Carolyn Goodman received 33,104 votes (60.51%) and Chris Giunchigliani (aka Chris G) received 21,601 votes (39.49%).

Giunchigliani put up a good fight considering the name recognition that Carolyn Goodman received from her husband, Oscar Goodman, who has been Mayor of Las Vegas for the last 12 years. Not to mention the campaign machine that was already in place for Mrs. Goodman.

In her victory speech Carolyn Goodman said she received a call from Chris G. conceding the race and that she congratulated her on the win. Goodman went on to say, "Her intentions were good. She wanted the best for the city but I believe we wanted more”, taking what sounds like one last dig at her opponent.

Oscar Goodman said of his wife, "She is going to take us to places we have never been"…"She's going to take us, to the next level". It sounds good, not sure where that next level is that he mentioned, but, it was a celebration and Oscar was very proud of his wife’s victory, as he should be.
