Bill Cole will become Billings' next mayor, easily turning back challenger Jeff Essmann by more than 7,000 votes.

Cole succeeds Tom Hanel, a two-term mayor who was term limited.

Other winners Tuesday according to early election returns were incumbent councilmen Mike Yakawich and Shaun Brown, who represent Ward 1 and Ward 5, respectively..................................

3. Now that is a Major defeat

for the GOP in Montana. This was the City that put the new Congressman in that replaced Zinke. That is the Guy who does body slams on Reporters.

Wow,what a turn around for the Dems.

4. Crazy amazing things can happen when people put down the remote and go out to vote, right?

5. Cole will shake Billings back to the Union Town it once was

a city of caring and sharing people. Pretty obvious that regressive Government did not and will not work in Billings.

6. This great, great grandson of a confederate

Hopes that Billings can become a union town again!

I know you meant a different meaning for Union, but they are kind of the same.

7. Billings was one of the most Unionist Ciites in Montana

before the Rethugs got their grubby hands on things. Times have changed,but this fellow will bring policy changes that needed to revitalize Billings.
