🎉 We Have a Winner! 🎉

Congratulations to Paul Scanlon, who has been elected the new Mayor of Ransboro!

A huge thank you to our four hardworking candidates – Bernie Flynn, Myra McDaniel, Willie Rafter and Paul Scanlon. We could not have got four better people to run for Mayor. Each candidate brought incredible energy, enthusiasm and excitement to the election, making it a fantastic few weeks for our community. Thanks to all the campaign teams who worked tirelessly with their candidates over the weeks coming up with ideas, making signs, organising events, running social media campaigns, the list goes on.

What started as a fundraiser turned into something much bigger. Thanks to your support, we have raised much-needed funds towards our new fence project, and just as importantly, we have seen the incredible community spirit that makes Ransboro such a special place.

To everyone who voted, attended events, donated, shared posts and supported the candidates along the way – thank you. The turnout and support over the past few weeks has been amazing, and it was wonderful to see our community come together in such a positive way.

Congratulations again to Paul, and thank you to everyone who helped make this Mayor of Ransboro election such a memorable success! 👏🎉.
