It appears that Dan Storck has won the Democratic primary in the Mount Vernon District Board of Supervisors race, according to final tallies from the state Board of Elections Web site.

Storck has represented the area on the Fairfax County School Board. Unofficial results show that he garnered 2,616 votes; his closest competitor in the race was Timothy Sargeant who came in with 2,437 votes.

Storck took 67 absentee votes; Sargeant took 82.

Vying for the seat, after the announced retirement of longtime Supervisor Gerry Hyland, were:

• Daniel G. “Dan” Storck
• Candice L. Bennett
• Timothy J. Sargeant
• John R. “Jack” Dobbyn, Jr.

Sargeant sits on the Fairfax County Planning Commissioner and Storck currently serves on the Fairfax County School Board.

Hyland, a Democrat who has held the seat since 1988, announced his retirement earlier this year from the county board of supervisors.

The Mt. Vernon District includes Lorton, Belvoir, Newington and Gunston.
