MCC Boad Releases Complete Results from Saturday's Election

Th McLean Community Center released today the complete results of the election of five board members held Saturday at McLean Day.

Election committee chair Robin Walker gave the complete results to Dranesville Supervisor John Foust Saturday night, according to the board's announcement.  Walker announced the names of the winners, but withheld the number of votes each candidate received from McLean residents.

She said she would not release the actual vote numbers because "One candidate was not reachable." She has never identified the candidate.

Walker released basic vote information Sunday evening. Today's release is the public's first look at the complete numbers.

The winners were first-time candidate Laurelie Wallace, the top vote-getter, followed by incumbents Susan Bourgeois and Craig Richardson, who ran as a write-in candidate.

Malika Nimmagadda was elected to the McLean High School seat. Drew Armstrong defeated Will Ferrer for the Langley High seat.

Foust, who  actually appoints the board, will present the results to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors today and the board will certify the results. The new board takes office Wednesday.

The 11-member MCC board oversees the operation of the McLean Community Center, its $6 million budget and $12 million surplus.
