Kyle Leonard has become the apparent winner of the Mount Airy Board of Education at-large race, widening his election-night margin to 22 votes after provisional ballots were counted Tuesday.
Leonard, a Republican and a local financial adviser, led Democrat Tim Matthews 1,763 to 1,744 on Nov. 3. The provisional count made it 1,771 to 1,749. Matthews, a longtime Mount Airy pharmacist, has held the at-large seat since 1996 and chairs the board.
Leonard has served on the city school board since 2018 and currently represents District A. He sought the at-large seat after moving out of his district. Results become official at Friday's county canvass, and Elections Director Sydney Bedsaul Romine and board member Dwayne Carter both said the canvass is not known to have overturned a local outcome.
