Let’s make America great again.
Congratulations are in order to Donald Trump for winning the 2016 presidential election.
Described as one of the most controversial elections the United States has ever seen, millions watched until well after midnight in anticipation to find out which contender would be left standing in the electoral college bout.
After hours of tallying the votes for each state, Trump came out victorious in this year’s grudge match of a presidential election.
For Trump supporters, this is a sign of new life for the United States.
For Hillary Clinton supporters, this would appear to be nothing short of a nuclear disaster.
In addition, congratulations are in order for Wichita Falls Mayor Elect, Stephen Santellana, an MSU alumni.
Santellana was in a civil battle with Tim Ingle.
Tim Ingle, an MSU alumni who graduated with his MBA in 2013, is turning out of his District Four councilor seat and ushering in new seat holder MSU alumni Jesse Brown.
Jesse Brown is showing good promise with his slogan “Jesse Brown for the Town” the District Four Councilor seat as he is a recent graduate from MSU with high honors.
As 2016 comes to an end, citizens of the United States and Wichita Falls, will have much to look forward to both national and locally with the new leadership in place.
Some victories accompany few upsets, however this marks one of the most polarizing elections of all time.
Here is to new beginnings and a hopeful future.
