Will Trauner Seek a Recount?
The unofficial returns have Cubin ahead of Trauner by just 970 votes, 93,197 to 92,227. He is expected to announce today whether he will seek a recount, which is not required by law in this case, according to Wyoming Secretary of State Joe Meyer. ( A difference of 932 votes would have triggered an automatic recount.)
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
