Early Voting Results in Galveston Mayor's Race - Jaworski Leads!

I block walked in Galveston three times for my friend Joe Jaworski for mayor, including today. The great news is that he leads in the 3000 early votes cast  - and he's over 50%! From GuidryNews.com:

Galveston - Early Vote Mayor:
Joe Jaworski 1,549 (52.12 percent)
Betty Massey 832 (27.99 percent)
William Quiroga 40
Greg Roof (Announced he would cease campaign after the deadline to withdraw) 35
Danny Weber 516
Joe had a message of "not business as usual." I was happy to volunteer my time for Joe because I know him as extremely hard working, smart and caring. He's worked hard to identify his vote and to get it out. I loved that he put his cell phone on all of his campaign literature, and if I talked to voter who I felt would benefit from a call from him, he would call him or her immediately.

Go, Joe!

UPDATE, 8:02 PM: And, 32 minutes after I tweeted out the above early voting results, the Houston Chronicle finally puts the results up on their May 8 election results page. It's laid out a little nicer than Guidry, and it's easier to see how the other two main contenders are doing (not as well as they hoped, I'm sure):

UPDATE 8:12 PM: And, here are the early vote results for Galveston ISD's bond election for a very expensive new stadium (multi-purpose - $35 million? $65 million? The price kept going up):
