Thanks for all the nice thoughts, there's going to be a run-off.
Our union democratic structure demands a majority of 51% to win. With seven running that's not likely to happen so the result is that I and another candidate have to run against each other on Monday.

So, now I have to find more pics and come up with a slogan/motto that will define and inspire. But I've spent over an hour on this forum so I best get to work....
