Escambia Co. School Board races – major upsets

   September 6, 2006

busDistrict 1 

Two-term Cary Stidham went down as this blog predicted – losing by nearly 1,000 votes to retired teacher Gerald Boone.  Boone 4,743   Stidham 3,772

District 2 

Then Jeff Bergosh – brother of Gary who had held the seat before winning his circuit court judge race – beat two challengers (Todd Leonard and Doug Waters) to avoid a run-off.

Bergosh: 5,110

Leonard: 2,562

Waters: 1,816

District 3 

Claudia Brown-Curry will face Bush-appointee Charles Glover in an run-off in November.  Curry had 3,726 votes, Glover 2,213.  It’s not a good sign for the incumbent to be trailing by 1500 votes going into a primary.

The Independent News had endorsed all top vote-getters in these races.
