Newman elected to GVEA board for District 4
After a spirited and active campaign, Gary Newman was elected to the GVEA board to represent District 4 by 55% with 45% for incumbent Frank Eagle. Gary is ready to serve the members when sworn in on June 22. Frank wished Gary well and they will remain friends.
The vote was 671 to 561 with an additional 133 ballots not counted because they weren't signed on the outside envelope. This is very common with prior votes as well. Gary will be working to change this disenfranchisement of members.
