The Town held elections today for two seats on the Town Council. Incumbents Pat Burda and Linna Barnes gained reelection by wide margins over challenger Deborah Vollmer who was making her second bid for a seat on the Town Council. A total of 298 votes cast ballots in a low turnout--more than twice as many people cast ballots when the same two seats were up for election in 2009. Here are the results:
Pat Burda, 261 votes or 88% of ballots cast.
Linna Barnes, 240 votes or 81%.
Deborah Vollmer, 40 votes or 13%.
There was also a write-in for Frodo Baggins. You can compare with the results from two years ago here.

Deborah Vollmer Takes the Plunge
Deborah Vollmer filed for election to the Town of Chevy Chase Town Council to run for one of the two seats along with incumbents Linna Barnes and Pat Burda. No other candidates filed to run before the closing of the filing deadline at 5pm today.
Deborah Vollmer also ran for the Town Council two years ago when she received seven percent of the vote. She is currently engaged in a lawsuit against both the Town and the neighboring property owner regarding the construction of the house next door to her own home.
