Primary Results: Braddock District Democrats Pick School Board Candidate

FAIRFAX, VA — Tom Dannan defeated Alexa Krezel in Saturday's firehouse primary. With the win, he earned the Democratic Party's endorsement to fill the vacant Braddock District seat on the Fairfax County School Board.

Dannan received 1,515 votes (74.56 percent) compared to the 517 votes (25.44 percent) garnered by Krezel, according to unofficial results. Dannan will face Saundra Davis in the March 3 special election.

The school board seat became vacant on Dec. 16, when Rachna Sizemore Heizer was sworn in as the new Braddock District supervisor. She was elected to that post by defeating Republican Kenneth P. "Ken" Balbuena and Independent candidate Carey Chet Campbell in the Dec. 9 special election.
