Cook, Siktya collect most vote
in City Council primary election
Continued from p. 1
"Of course, anyone would be happy to do
that well," the 46-year-old architect said.
He said he had not expected to do so well in
the primary, but "felt the " people ' must have
thought I did well in the last four years" as a
councilman.
He said he would celebrate his victory by
trying to work hard in the general election.
In that election, Cook said, he would like to
emphasize formation of a transportation
department to handle all city transportation and
creation of a position in city government for an
urban development liaison person to work with
the dewntown area and with redevelopment of
Lincoln's older areas.
He said he could not make a speculation on
the general election because "I very seldom make
prediction," but that he did feel good going into
the election after getting "such a plurality" in
the primary.
Sikyta, 47, owner of a heating and air
conditioning business, said he felt "pretty good"
about his showing in the election.
"Number two"
"I did not have too much hope of being in the
top three or four," he said. "I can be content
with being number two."
In running his campaign for the primary, he
said, he ran on his record and did not use any
yard signs. He said he may use a few yard signs in
his campaign for general election and would
mostly make speeches and public appearances
and release papers on his positions.
Sikyta said he spt.-nt his first four years on the
council doing planning and, if elected, will spend
the next four years on action and decisions.
Jeambey, 44, a minister, also said he was very
happy with his returns in the election.
"I was hoping to survive the cutoff," he said.
"To finish in such lofty heights boggles my
mind."
He said he probably will continue running his
campaign as he did in the primary, having people
he knows in the community spread word of his
candidacy. If he gets more money, he said, he
may use some advertising in his campaign.
"I think I've got a record that is unparalleled
by any candidate, except the incumbents," he
said
Urban development
Jeambey said he thinks that there has been a
faction of people "in Lincoln which is trying to
get the council to weaken its long-held
commitment to organized urban development.
He would oppose any method that would
weaken this commitment, he said.
Baker, 38, the third incumbent and a
pharmacist, said he did not campaign vigorously
for the primary, but planned to begin doing so
for the general election.
It will be "personal campaign with a lot of
door-to-door," he said.
"I'm going to run on my record," Baker said.
"I have no reason to change my strategy now."
Baker said the city's most pressing problem is
growth.
"This will be determined by the
comprehensive plan that we come up with," he
said. Baker cited housing as second on his list. He
said he planned to work within the agencies
involved to solve the problems.
Tiwald. a 25-year-old health planner for the
state and the fifth-place finisher in the primary
could not be reached for comment.
Door-to-door work
Thierstein, 39, an attorney, said his campaign
went "as predicted" but said he will now begin
to spend more money and time in the campaign.
He said he will be doing more dcor-to-door work
and will attend as many meetings with Lincoln
organizations as possible.
Housing for the elderly and low-income
groups are Lincoln's most pressing problems,
Thierstein said, but added that all of the city's
problems are important.
"We need a more active council," he said.
"Cooperation is the big thing, cooperation with
the organizations we have to work with."
Carson, a 40-year-old insurance and real estate
broker, said he now plans to "get more specific"
following his successful primary campaign.
Carson also cited growth as the city's most
important problem.
"Physical, economic and population growth
and the direction they take" are the areas where
guidance is needed, Carson said.
Mary Rogge, a 32-year-old part-time
pharmacist and housewife, said she was surprised
at winning one of the final eight spots on the
ballot for the general election.
"Political unknown"
"For a political unknown, I did pretty well,"
she said. "I got through the primaries."
Though she said her chances are probably slim
in the general election, her plans are for a more
intense person-to-person campaign by herself and
campaign workers.
"My chances are probably dependent on my
future press releases," she said.
Rogge said she plans to use handbills and
some yard signs in her campaign. She does not
yet know how much campaign money she will
have available.
"The future development of Lincoln is the
major issue facing Lincoln voters," Rogge said.
"The people should vote on a downtown
beautification project since there is so much tax
money involved," she said.
