We Did It, Cheney! After a long rollercoaster week, tonight’s results confirmed it - we won! 🎉

I am beyond grateful for everyone who supported this campaign whether through your time, encouragement, public displays, influence, or donations. It truly took a village to make this victory possible.
My heart is full after the #CandyCaneRide rolled right past the house this weekend! 🎅🎄

Huge thanks to our Cheney Firefighters, Cheney Police, and EWU Police for bringing Santa, cheer, and collecting food for the local bank. I love living in this giving community! ❤️

First training in the books! I spent this past weekend attending my first official #ElectedOfficialsTraining, hosted by the #AssociationOfWashingtonCities. It was incredibly informative and I learned a ton about the responsibilities, governance, and challenges facing city leadership!

Our #CheneyPolice are so amazing with how community centered they are! Loved that they had a hot cocoa bar setup for Holiday Hoopla on Friday in Brewster Hall and were out participating in the holiday festivities with everyone! 🎄

Loved connecting at the #WestPlainsChamber event this past Thursday with local professionals.

Great to see #CheneyWA Elect for Mayor, Elsa Martin there too! It's important for elected leaders to stay engaged with our community.

Huge thanks to Rosa's Pizza for hosting! 🍕

Congratulations @rebeccalong4cheney.bsky.social! Whew😅 Hey kids, #EveryVoteCounts and people trying to talk you out of voting are not on your side.
The #recount results are now officially certified — and I won! 🎉

The final outcome remains unchanged: 1,079 votes for me and 1,070 for Tim Steiner.

I am grateful, honored, excited, and ready to get to work as your new Cheney City Councilmember. 💛💙

I just sent out the final campaign email today — a milestone moment as we wrap up the campaign and move into the work ahead.

Thank you, truly, for every message, vote, conversation, and encouragement.

More updates to come as I prepare to take office in January!

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the West Plains Chamber’s Best of the West awards — such a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible local businesses, nonprofits, educators, and civil servants that make our region thrive.

Tues we got to go watch the #Recount in person. Was amazing to see how fast it was! Literally took longer to sign in (& longer to print the report at the end!) than it took to do the recount. 😄 Kudos to the #SpokaneCountyElections team for having such a tight process!

The #recount for our election was successfully completed this morning. The final count confirmed the initial results, keeping me as the winner by 9 votes! Official recertification happens tomorrow @ 9AM. 🎉

Appreciate the coverage from The Spokesman-Review on our recount that's scheduled for Tuesday. This is an important part of our election process to provide assurance and confidence in the result.

It was fantastic to see so many friends, neighbors, and community members out this morning for the annual #CheneyTurkeyTrot! This Thanksgiving I'm feeling extra grateful for all of you and this amazing community. 💛💙 #HappyThanksgiving!

Counting is finally done!

The results are in: I finished with 1,079 votes to Tim Steiner's 1,070, along with 6 write-ins. With such a narrow 9 vote win, state laws dictate this goes to an automatic machine recount which will take place next Tuesday for recertification next Wednesday.

#CheneyCityCouncil regular meeting tonight @ 6pm. You can attend in person at City Hall or on Zoom (link in agenda). Tonight you can give public comment at the start or speak during the #PublicHearing on next year's #budget.

#CheneyCityCouncil meets tonight! Normally would be the second Tue of the month (yesterday) but due to the Veterans Day it moved to tonight. Additionally, the #ParkBoard would normally meet tonight but was also moved to next week Wednesday to accommodate this shuffle.

Honoring all who’ve served, today & every day. Grateful to the City of Cheney for celebrating veterans year-round through Veterans Memorial Park. Take time to visit, reflect, & give thanks to those who’ve served. Thank you, veterans, for your service.

On Election Day, I finally grabbed a copy of the latest #WestPlainsStream which covered the election. This is obviously too late to change anyone's votes but want to share my responses & my cute little bobblehead on the cover. 😄
