Dell Rapids -- Downs Is Up!

A little farther down the KJAM election results page, I find cause for Bulldog Pride of another sort: fellow Madison HS graduate Mark Downs has won seat as Ward 3 alderman in Dell Rapids. A profile in the April 4 Dell Rapids Tribune says Downs has a big interest in economic development (Ah, don't we all...). Mark's dad Myron will surely be proud: Myron served on the Madison city commission. And just to top it off, Mark and wife Amanda's fourth child is due today, Election Day. Congratulations, Mark and Amanda! And remember; kids first, then economic development.
