Her main rival, a local business owner, conceded defeat(ア) shortly after midnight.

Opinion polls taken before the election had suggested a close race, so many observers were surprised by the result.

本文の訳を見る

レイクポート市の有権者は日曜日、新しい市長を選ぶため投票に出かけた。投票率は38%で、前回の選挙をわずかに上回った。その一因は、市が期日前投票を拡充したことにある。2期務めた現職の市長は、今回は立候補しなかった。4人の候補者のうち、元教師のエレン・ウォードが得票の52%を獲得し、はっきりと過半数を確保した。主な対立候補だった地元の会社経営者は、午前0時を過ぎてまもなく敗北を認めた。選挙戦の間、ウォードは公共交通を改善することと、新スタジアム建設計画について住民投票を行うことを約束した。選挙前の世論調査では接戦が予想されていたため、多くの専門家はこの結果に驚いた。
