Brady thanked her family
and supporters for sticking with
her throughout the campaign
and for working so hard to
help her win.
The win by Brady heals the
wounds a bit for a political alli-

from the council and A. Ralph
Mollis in the lieutenant gover-

town a "dump"
due to a "lack
of leadership"
from Lombardi and Public
Works Director Glenn Corrente.
"You don't see the neglect
when you're in Narragansett,"

with over the past four years.
"I think it's very clear that
the people have spoken and I
look forward to working with
them for four more years,"
she told The Breeze.
The incumbent said she
had nothing to say to Piche
following a tough campaign
battle that saw him attack her
on a number of fronts, includ-
ing her frequent recusals on
