Race Not Over Yet For Parkland School Board Seats

Incumbent board members David M. Kennedy, Lisa Adams , Roberta Marcus and Robert Bold won both the Democratic and Republican nominations in the May 17th primary, and are therefore virtually assured of a win in their re-election bids since they will be on both ballots.

However, incumbent Debra Y. Evans, who has no party affiliation, won only a Democratic nomination, and Roy Jef Reyburn, a Republican, won only a Republican nomination in official tallies, Lehigh County voter registration officials said. They will, in essence, square off for that fifth seat.

Evans was hoping to also win the Republican nomination as a write-in candidate, but she did not receive enough write-ins to boot Reyburn from the fall lineup, officials said. Reyburn had said he would not seek write-in votes for the Democratic nod.
