Allegany County Md. Campaign Buttons 38

There had been seven candidates running in the June 24, 2014 primary for one of the three open seats on the non-partisan Board of Education (two current Board members ran for re-election and a third member had chosen not to run for re-election.)

The six successful primary candidates who moved onto the November 4, 2014 General Election included the two incumbents, Sara-Beth James and Laurie Peskin Marchini, as well as Wayne T. Foote, Lorelee Farrell, James M. Smith, who promised "Real Change", and Bill Davis. Tammy Fraley, whose campaign material identified herself as being "Student Focused - Success Driven," ran a close but unsuccessful race.

As a result of the November 4, 2014 General Election, Sara-Beth James, Laurie Peskin Marchini and Wayne T. Foote were elected to the Allegany County Board of Education. In 2017 both Sara-Beth Bittinger (formerly James) and Laurie Marchini announced they would not be seeking re-election in 2018.

In addition to the Board of Education race, Craig Robertson, a Republican, who had been elected Sheriff of Allegany County in 2010, ran unopposed for re-election to that office in both the 2014 Primary and General Elections. Additional information about him appears elsewhere on this website.
