To get the run-down on the seven winners of the EASD school board primary, check out Colin McEvoy's article in the Express-Times.


Kerri Leonard-Ellison was the only incumbent to defend her seat, and she just missed sweeping the whole thing for both parties by 8 votes. 


Maybe she was able to overcome terrific anti-incumbent sentiment because she has worked so hard and made herself known as a vocal advocate for students and taxpayers alike. 


Or it may just be that the only public sentiment in Easton that is stronger than anti-incumbent sentiment right now, is anti-nepotism sentiment, as her challenger is the brother of the district's HR Director.


This will be the race to watch in November.
