The final results are in, with Flagler County Commission incumbents Frank Meeker and Nate McLaughlin narrowly beating out opponents Dennis McDonald and Mark Richter in Tuesday’s primary, and School Board incumbent Andy Dance besting opponent Maria Pinto-Barbosa by 2,497 votes and 20.22 percentage points, the widest margin of victory in any of the county-wide races.
“I'm just humbled that the voters have entrusted me with this responsibly for four more years,” Dance said after the results came in Tuesday night. “I'll continue to work hard for our students in the district.”
McLaughlin beat Richter by 237 votes — 3.78 percentage points — and Meeker beat McDonald by just 208 votes and 3.22 percentage points.

School Board District 2 incumbent John Fischer will face off against Janet McDonald, who bested him in the primary by just 24 votes. Toni Baker and Lynnette Callender were eliminated from the race.
