The Zombie Rights Campaign was, as previously noted here on the blog, very pleased to have two Zombie Tolerant mayoral candidates in the Madison election.

Well, on Tuesday night, after a very close contest, Paul Soglin won the election:

Maybe he is mayor for life.

In a scenario unlikely only a few months ago, former Mayor Paul Soglin on Tuesday stunned two-term incumbent Mayor Dave Cieslewicz to recapture the office he has held longer than anyone in city history.

It’s worth noting that Soglin gave a very strong statement of support for Zombies only days before the polls closed, after his heavily publicized appearance at the Zombie Walk:

Given this, we have to wonder: did the Zombie vote make the critical difference, and did Soglin’s arguably stronger support for the Differently Animated sway them to his side?

Sadly, the ZRC did not have the resources to do exit polling, so perhaps this is a question we can never answer. Still, it was a momentous election indeed and a major step forward for The Cause.

Congratulations, Mayor-elect Soglin. We look forward to working with you in implementing your bold Pro-Zombie agenda.
