Good evening.
An important local election
took place today in Riverdale.
The people of this community
elected a new member of the school board.
Carter Boswell.
Opposing him in the campaign was Ellen Stewart,
a housewife from Riverdale.
Tonight we'll take a look at both campaigns.
First, we turn to the Boswell campaign.
Mr. Boswell reached many voters
by appearing on local TV.
"I care about the school buildings in need of paint.
I care about more lockers for the teachers.
I care about new fixtures in the hallways."
Less than a month ago,
a new face entered the race.
Ellen Stewart.
Mrs. Stewart disagreed with Carter Boswell's plans
for the Riverdale schools.
She campaigned very strongly
to keep the cultural programs
in music, art, and drama.
Local appliance stores
played a video tape of Mrs. Stewart
introducing herself to the voters.
"My name is Ellen Stewart
and I am running for the open seat
on the school board.
My slogan is 'I care.'
I care about people, not things."
Mrs. Stewart's unusual campaign
helped her win the attention of the local newspaper.
Charles Maxwell,
the editor of the Riverdale news,
praised Mrs. Stewart for caring about the cultural programs
in the schools.
When the first votes were counted,
early in the day,
it seemed as if Ellen Stewart
might win a surprise victory over Carter Boswell.
But once all of the votes were counted,
Mrs. Stewart lost by only 121 votes.
Well, it was a very close election.
And Ellen Stewart convinced
the people of Riverdale that she cares.
She also convinced Carter Boswell,
who now wants to appoint Mrs. Stewart
to a special committee
for cultural programs in the school.
Well, that's our special election day
report on a very important local election.
Thank you and have a good evening.
