Wootan, Taylor win Glenns Ferry school board seats

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

Write-in Rich Wootan defeated Rusty Trail 63-33 for the Zone 1 trustee position in the Glenns Ferry School District Tuesday night.

In the Zone 5 race, John Taylor defeated Joseph McFarland by a 55-26 margin.

The race for the District 2 commissioner's seat for the Atlanta Highway District set an historic first for Elmore County -- the first time any election saw a 100 percent turnout of registered voters. Allen Lake won election with 18 votes, Merlin Lords received 16 votes and Russel Beavers received 5.

For the Mellen Subdivision Water District two candidates, Norma Meyers and write-in Sara Miller, tied with 13 votes. With two open positions, both were elected. Write-in Bart Eben received 1 vote.

All results are unofficial at this time, pending the required canvass of votes.

  • This is great news for Glenns Ferry! Two new Board members with knowledge and drive to do what is needed to get the district back on track...

    Mr. Taylor's proper focus on people - not merely numbers - will bolster staff morale. With that- everyone benefits.
