| 2021-11-03 |
| [FOXNEWS] Douglas County, Colo. — A slate of political novices in Douglas County, Colorado, declared victory Tuesday night in a school board race that made national headlines.Christy Williams, one of four "Kids First" candidates, read off initial results to raucous applause at a supporter appreciation party in Parker, Colorado, in the moments after polls closed. "I am humbled to my core," Williams told Fox News. "I think there's a lot to look at, but ultimately I hope to give parents the ultimate authority over their children." Williams was joined by Mike Peterson, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar. Together, they hold a lead over the teacher federation-backed CommUnity Matters slate, comprised of incumbent board members Krista Holtzmann and Kevin Leung and newcomers Ruby Martinez and Juli Watkins. Peterson and Myers led by double-digit percentage points as of late Tuesday night, local time. Williams leds Leung by more than 7,000 votes and Winegar led Holtzmann by more than 8,000 votes. Local NBC affiliate 9news called the race for the conservative slate after 10 p.m. MST. The results indicate that more than half of the seven-member board could be replaced. |
