With seven candidates vying to replace outgoing District 3 County Councilman Jack Hayman, Joie Alexander's finish at the top of the pack was not a surprise. The four who have already been eliminated, Ellen Darden of New Smyrna Beach, Bil Benedict of Samsula, Roger Gray of New Smyrna Beach and John D'Hondt of Port Orange, worked very hard and ran with class and distinction. With a weekend ballot recount of the second and third place finishers, George Trovato and Deborah Denys, respectively separated by less than one-half of 1 percent, Trovato appears to be in the driver's seat.
