Wildes returns to Englewood in landslide

Democrat Michael Wildes will return as mayor, a job he won in 2004 and walked away from in 2010.

He defeated Republican Deirdre Paul and independent Horace Ragbir with 84% of the vote,

Running off the organization line, Wildes beat Englewood Democratic Municipal Chairman Phil Meisner 2,675 to 1,504 – a margin of 1,171 votes – in a contentious and nasty primary.

Incumbent Frank Huttle is not seeking re-election to a fourth term.
