Three of the five seats on the Gallup-McKinley County Schools Board of Education were up for by-district general election on February 7, 2017. In her bid for re-election to District 2, appointed incumbent Sandra Jeff faced challengers Freda Joe and Charles Long. Long won election to the board. District 4 incumbent Joe Menini and District 5 incumbent Lynn Huenemann did not file to run for re-election, leaving two seats open for newcomers. The race for the District 4 seat featured candidates Brenda Chicharello and Christopher Mortensen, and Mortensen won the seat. Three candidates—Esther Macias, Gerald O'Hara, and Michael Schaaf—ran for the District 5 seat, and Schaaf won. All three winners were endorsed by the McKinley County Federation of United School Employees (MCFUSE).[1][2][3]
