Quarker, the Democratic Party candidate, finished with 882 votes. Wallace, the Republican, finished with 381 votes. There was one write-in vote.

“I definitely appreciate the voters. I really want to thank the people who supported me and had enough confidence in me to give me another four years,” Quarker said.

Wallace, the wife of school board member Dr. Coleman Wallace, said she appreciated the support of her voters.

“Let me say thanks to all of my supporters,” Wallace said. “I did come up short on this election, but there always has to be a winner and a loser. Unfortunately I was on the short end this time.

“I really do want to thank everybody – the GOP members who supported me, my family, my friends, and everyone who prayed for me. I have no regrets, and I’d do it all over again if I had to.”
