Burlington Area School District voters re-elected incumbent Taylor Wishau while bringing newcomer Marlo Brown to the Board of Education during Tuesday’s Spring Election.
Wishau and Brown aligned their campaigns and ran with the support of the Republican Party in the race for the non-partisan positions.
The strategy worked as voters responded to the conservative message in a year marked by controversy in the school district.
Local voters also elected two new aldermen and promoted a town supervisor to town chairman.
Results from Tuesday’s election top this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. Copies of the newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.
