ELECTION Continued from Page 1 it appears he will be the only member remaining from a board that was assembled in April 2002 after two members died within days of one another, and another resigned. Newcomer David Brodhead won the other open seat on the five-member board. “Im happy that people put their trust in me. I will not dis- appoint them,” said Brodhead. Brodhead ran with Bob Wright Sr., who finished fourth, behind incumbent Carl Goodwin. Challengers Rosaria Shaver and Alan Lord trailed well behind. All six candidates appeared on only the Republican ballot, so the primary winners are vir- tually guaranteed election in November.
