ELY – In a school board race that included more than twice as many candidates as the 2020 election, experience mattered to voters as incumbents Rochelle Sjoberg and Tony Colarich landed two of the three available seats for a four-year term on the board with 22.2 percent and 18.14 percent of the vote respectively. The final four-year board seat went to newcomer Jennifer Westlund who received 17.47 percent of the votes and will take the seat filled by appointee Chad Davis after former board member Darren Visser moved out of ISD 696.
In the race for the one available two-year term, current Ely School Board Chair Ray Marsnik prevailed with 59.92 percent of the votes in keeping his seat against Anthony Bermel who came in with 38.73 percent of the vote.
