Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger has won another term in office.

The incumbent Democrat fended off a challenge from Progressive-backed independent Carina Driscoll in the citywide election to win his third three-year term.

Unofficial Town Meeting Day results show Weinberger winning 48.38 percent of the vote, Driscoll received 34.96 percent and independent Infinite Culcleasure took 16.07 percent.

The count was:

Miro Weinberger: 5,749

Carina Driscoll: 4,155

Infinite Culcleasure: 1,910

A crowd chanting "Three more years!" greeted Miro as he entered Nectar's Tuesday night. The Democrat will go back to work Wednesday, keeping his job as mayor of the Queen City.

It took about just an hour and a half to tally the votes after the polls closed. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger was re-elected for his third term.

"Thank you Burlington for working so hard to make our city even better. I'm honored to have served these past few terms and I will do all I can to move Burlington forward over the next three years," Weinberger said. "Today, Burlingtonians agreed with our continued focus on public engagement transparency and community responsiveness and they affirmed our broader vision for Burlington, a vision where there is opportunity for all members of our community."

The mayor thanked his opponents for their perspectives and fighting for their visions of Burlington.

"I look forward to continuing my conversations with Infinite and Carina in the weeks and months to come and hope to work alongside both of them to make our city even better," Weinberger said.

"While we did not win tonight, we have so much to be proud of," Carina Driscoll said.

Driscoll thanked Weinberger in front of a packed crowd in the New North End. She told her supporters they should be proud and said it was significant Weinberger did not win 50 percent of voters. She also said she was impressed with Infinite Culcleasure's campaign.

"I think together we really send a clear message that Miro needs to do more than cater to private interests what is community and he needs to do more to work for the people who live here because that's what the people want. That's what that combined vote total means," Driscoll said.

Culcleasure made similar remarks as he thanked his supporters.

"We believed in each other and it was contagious-- people caught it. We got more voters out, we broke some records, we actually increased participation," Culcleasure said.

Weinberger stayed positive and reiterated the slogan he used throughout the campaign, "Today, Burlingtonians sent a clear message we must keep moving forward."

Driscoll told us that she would not rule out another run for mayor in the future.

Weinberger points to what he says was one of the biggest voter turnouts the city has seen and said he looks forward to working with the people as he starts his third term.
