Elections
2017
Three of the seven seats on the Shawnee Mission School District Board of Education in Kansas were up for general election on November 7, 2017. A primary election was held on August 1, 2017, for the at-large seat and the District 4 seat. In his bid for re-election to the District 4 seat, incumbent Craig Denny ran against challengers Lee Biard, Laura Guy, and Christopher White. Denny and Guy advanced to the general election, where Guy won, defeating the incumbent. Mandi Serrone Hunter and Heather Ousley defeated incumbent Cindy Neighbor and fellow challengers Robert Roberge and Fabian Shepard in the at-large primary and advanced to the general election, where Ousley won the seat.[1][2]
The District 2 seat did not hold a primary election as fewer candidates filed to run for that seat. Mary Sinclair defeated James Lockard for that open seat in the general election.[3][4]
District 4 candidate Lee Biard announced that he stopped actively campaigning, but his name still appeared on the primary election ballot.[5]
