Election 2011: Denenberg Defeats Jones for 19th Legislative District

Denenberg will serve another two years in office after being elected for a seventh term.

Democrat Dave Denenberg won his re-election Tuesday against Republican challenger Dr. Fred Jones for a seat representing the 19th Legislative District. 

Denenberg captured more than 73 percent of the vote against the non-incumbent, Jones.

Jones told Patch that although he did not come out the victor, he wanted to thank all of the people that worked hard on his campaign.

"I also hope that the new legislator will see that we have to make some changes in the county," Jones added.

Denenberg did not respond to Patch's request for a comment as of press time.

Denenberg is a ranking member of the Planning, Development and the Environment and Public Works Committees and member of the Finance, Government Services and Operations and Public Safety Committees. He is the only legislator to maintain a district office, doing so at his own expense. He also hosts bimonthly public meetings.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact thisRead More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
