This page depicts the unsuccessful Allegany County Board of Education candidates from either the 2014 Primary or General Elections.
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.
(Note: Board member Lorelee Farrell was born in 1951 and passed away in 2017 during her elected term of office.)
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.
