<p><strong>Ferbert beat Maienschein in the March primary by more than 6 percentage points, or more than 14,000 votes</strong> out of more than 130,000 votes cast in the race. </p>

<h4>Politics Report: Ferbert-mentum</h4>

<p><strong><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary)">“The City Council and the voters insisted on deep legal experience for this position because there’s so much on the line</span></strong> — 20,000 criminal prosecutors and 200 civil lawsuits a year, plus hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at stake in every decision,” he said. “The last time Maienschein practiced law it was literally the last century.”</p>

<h4>What does it take to run for city attorney? Maienschein could face legal challenge.</h4>
