Conservatives had a good night in the Oct. 4 Palmer and Wasilla city elections, according to the unofficial results on election night.

In Palmer, incumbent Mayor Steve Carrington won unopposed, while fellow conservatives on the city council – Carolina Anzilotti and Richard Best – had comfortable leads. Three other candidates, who the city council chose earlier this year to temporarily replace three left-leaning council members who voters recalled, were headed to victory. These included: Thomas Ojala IV (unopposed), Josh Tudor and John Alcantra (unopposed). Click here to see the unofficial results.
