Sam Page wins first full term as St. Louis County executive
BRENTWOOD — Republican Mark Mantovani, a late entry in the race for St. Louis County executive, gained ground on Tuesday night against Democrat Sam Page, but couldn’t overcome the incumbent’s early, wide lead.
By evening’s end, with all polling places reporting, the tally stood at Page, 52%; Mantovani, 46%. Green Party Candidate Randall Holmes had about 2% of the vote.
In a concession speech shortly after 10 p.m., Mantovani thanked voters for their support and said he felt it was a worthy effort despite the challenges of running a two-month campaign.
“To the people of St. Louis, I would continue to implore you to challenge yourself and the community to address our long term and historic challenges: economic stagnation, racial and social equity, and the fragmentation of our local governance structures,” Mantovani said.
