Dear Woodbury voters, I want to express my sincere appreciation to my fellow Woodbury residents who re-elected me to the county board on Nov. 6. I am humbled by the strong show of support I received in the General Election in my newly re-drawn commissioner district and consider it an honor and privilege to represent you. I also appreciate the time and efforts of my campaign committee for helping with my re-election bid; your steadfast support was critical to my success. I couldn't have done it without your help or without the unwavering support of my husband and family. I want to acknowledge my opponent, Nancy Remakel, for running a clean, issues-based campaign. I’m grateful to have debated relevant issues in public formats for citizens …

How did your city vote on the constitutional amendment to require photo ID to vote?
Here's how residents in a selection of Minnesota cities voted on the proposed Voter ID amendment to the state Constitution, which would have required photo ID at polling places.

NOTE: These are unofficial figures until local canvassing boards verify them…

The incumbent Woodbury Republican is elected to a second term.
Republican Rep. Andrea Kieffer was re-elected Tuesday to the state House of Representatives, according to the unofficial results from the Secretary of State.

President Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 10:15 CST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you."

Barack Obama won Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney.
