Update on close Washington County commissioners, school board races

Democratic challenger Lara Shepherd has taken a 230-vote lead over Republican incumbent John Barr for the fifth Washington County Commissioners seat with the last ballots still to be counted on Friday, Nov. 13. Incumbent Washington County Board of Education member Mike Guessford was still leading challenger Robin Merchant-Spickler for the third school board spot after more provisional and mail-in ballots were counted Thursday, Nov. 12, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections website. The results are incomplete and unofficial, with the election results expected to be certified on Friday, Nov. 13, after the last mail-in ballots are counted. Mail-in ballots can still be counted if they are postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3, and received by the election board by 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13.

She would become the first woman to serve on the county commissioners since 2014 when Republican Ruth Anne Callaham lost her re-election bid in that year's primary. Barr has served four terms on the county board —
