Unofficial Election Results November 5, 2013 (9:57 PM) |
Reformers Take Thompson School Board November 6, 2013 School reformers appear to have swept the Thompson Board of Education defeating three of the teacher union sponsored candidates defending the status quo. Former Loveland Councilwoman Donna Rice handily defeated recently appointed incumbent Jeff Berg who LovelandPolitics first reported voted to increase his wife's compensation. Candidates Carl Langner and now Bryce Carlson have both defeated their union sponsored opponents to make those seeking higher testing scores and less union control of the district to four of seven board members. Carlson's margin of victory is close enough a recount will likely be required before the official results are announced. |
