2016
Four seats on the School District of Lee County school board were up for general election on November 8, 2016. The board originally had five seats, but the 2016 election added two more seats to the board: Districts 6 and 7, which were elected at large. Two other seats were up for by-district election, although the race for one—District 3—was decided in the primary election on August 30, 2016, and it did not appear on the general ballot. In her bid for re-election, District 2 incumbent Jeanne Dozier faced five challengers in the primary election: Charlie Flores, Melisa Giovannelli, Kimberly Hurley, David Lusk, and Stephen Solak. Since no candidate won over 50 percent of the total votes, the top two vote-getters—Dozier and Giovannelli—advanced to the general election. Giovannelli defeated Dozier in the general election. The race for a two-year term for the new District 6 seat included Don Armstrong, Charles Dailey, Richard Dunmire, and Jane Kuckel on the primary ballot. Kuckel and Armstrong advanced to the general election, with Kuckel winning the seat. In the primary election for District 7, District 3 incumbent Cathleen Morgan faced challengers Derrick Donnell, Guido Minaya, Chris Quackenbush, and Betsy Vaughn. Morgan and Quackenbush both appeared on the general election ballot. Morgan won the general election. Since Morgan ran for the District 7 seat, the District 3 was left open for a newcomer. Chris Patricca defeated Lori Fayhee in the race for the seat in the primary election.[1][2]
