Incumbent Mead School Board member Carmen Green was in a tight race to keep her seat Tuesday night.
Green’s challenger, BrieAnne Gray, a nurse practitioner, was leading the race with about 51%.
The race brought in more contributions than any race in the Mead School District in recent history. Gray raised more than $42,000 as of Tuesday, more than double Green, who raised about $19,000.
Prior to 2019 when one candidate raised $10,500, no Mead School Board candidate raised more than $5,000.
Despite the results, Green said she was “super hopeful” with the amount of ballots still left to count...
Gray’s campaign brought in endorsements from big conservative names, including U.S. Rep Cathy McMorris Rodgers; state Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley; and Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich.
Green said her opponents’ endorsements outside of the district created a “partisan feel” to the race, Green said.
“I think that’s unfortunate,” she said. “It’s not necessarily indicative of my political leanings.”
In her campaign, Gray said she hoped to bring a “new voice” to the district. She criticized the district for following the statewide mask mandate. She also had concerns with critical race theory and comprehensive sex education being taught in schools.
