Congratulations to Jeff Baker, Todd Hooks, David Weichman and Roger Wendell.

And congratulations to Nathan Davis and Robert Wilson for a very strong showing and the willingness to put themselves out there and give the community a hard choice.

Here are the numbers:

3-Year Terms (Vote for Three):

Jeff Baker (incumbent Chairman) – 2,102

David Wiechman – 1,894 votes

Roger Wendell – 1,636 votes

Nathan Davis – 1,341 votes

Robert Wilson – 1,334 votes

1-Year Term:

Todd Hooks (incumbent) – 2,606 votes
(No opposition)

The district is in good hands.  Mr. Weichman and Mr. Wendell have clearly declared that they will now work to prevent the kind of destructive division  that surfaced a year and half ago.  Divisions that with some time, hard decisions and significant effort were capably and conclusively resolved by the prior board.

Since the recall election and two board resignations finally concluded the divisiveness,  the current board has been running very smoothly, capably addressing the issues of the day with the help of Mr. Hooks and now retired David Garner, as well as board counsel Mr. Woods.

Of course it is everyone’s hope that it continues to do so notwithstanding some last minute electioneering.

Congratulations and best wishes to the new board.  And of course,  the District owes a thank you again to veteran board member Alex Plotkin and interim board member David Garner.  Best wishes to them in their “retirement”.  But we hope both keep involved and contribute as they can to support the important work of the new board.
