Cathy Ann Viveiros 

     Election night at St John's          November 8, 2011  


   The following are pictures from what many were hoping was going to be a big victory party for Cathy
Ann Viveiros and also the beginning of her program to turn Fall River around.  Viveiros campaigned on
many important issues in the city  including reducing the unemployment rate, which is the highest in
Massachusetts  and also reducing the high crime rate in the city.

  The winner of the evening was the present young mayor, Will Flanagan who  was reelected to
a second two year term.  Although the Fall River elections are nonpartisan, Flanagan is a
Democrat and had the backing of the very powerful international and local unions  while Viveiros
 is an Independent and therefore had to raise most of her money locally.

The local media did an excellent " fair and balanced"  job of covering the election.   To Mayor Flanagan's
credit, this also applied to Fall River Cable TV (FRCTV Ch 95)  and Fall River Government TV
(FRGTV Ch 18)  which is more or less under the control of the Mayor.  Several debates were held and were
 all very well covered by them and the other local media.   Both WSAR and the Fall River Herald News
also held debates on the Mayor's Race.  WINGS TV supplied the sound systems for some of the debates
and also supplied the sound and the large screen video screen for these election night pictures at St John's..

The  Fall River Herald News endorsed Cathy Ann Viveiros and likewise, WINGS TV also did on our Plymouth
Avenue sign the day before the election.  Although we and the sad people in these pictures didn't support
 the reelection of Mayor Well Flanagan here is hoping for the best for him in his efforts to improve Fall River.
