Coupeville Sports

Coupeville graduates Morgan White and Nancy Conard have large leads in the race for election to the school board.

Day two results reinforced day one.

The voters have spoken and Morgan White, Nancy Conard, and incumbent Sherry Phay are likely winners in the race for the Coupeville School Board.

The trio will join Christine Sears and Glenda Merwine.

Phay, who was running unopposed for a second term, has 2,158 votes as of Wednesday night’s second release of totals by the Island County Auditor’s office.

The other two races showcase Coupeville grads who have gone on to make major contributions in their hometown community.

White, a business owner and mother of two children attending Coupeville schools, leads businessman Ward Sparacio 2,207 to 950 votes.

Conard, who was town mayor for two decades, and also held multiple positions in the Coupeville school district, including Business Manager, is rolling against internet crank Paul Rempa.

Her opponent essentially vanished from the race after being called on the carpet publicly and privately for lies about his service (or lack thereof) with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

Conard, who is helping raise her granddaughter, a freshman at Coupeville High School, is ahead 2,427 to 777.

White has won 69.91% of counted votes, with Conard sitting at 75.75%.

That’s a slight bump upwards from day one, when the duo stood at 69.44% and 75.51%, respectively.

There have been 20,887 ballots counted through Wednesday night, and the next update will be released Thursday, Nov. 4 at 6 PM.

A clean sweep, so far.

For the first time in its nearly 10-year history, Coupeville Sports issued political candidate endorsements, and all three of my selections are rolling to victory.

If things hold, Nancy Conard, Morgan White, and incumbent Sherry Phay will join Glenda Merwine and Christine Sears on the Coupeville School Board.

Phay was running unopposed for a second term, and has received 1,874 votes through the first release of vote totals Tuesday night by the Island County Auditor’s office.

The other two races feature Coupeville grads with distinguished resumes being embraced by local voters.

White, a mother of two and business owner who has been highly-active in Coupeville schools, leads Ward Sparacio 1,895-834.

Meanwhile, Conard, former long-time town mayor and Coupeville Schools business manager, is paddling internet troll Paul Rempa 2,100-681.

Conard has garnered 75.51% of votes tallied, while White has claimed 69.44%.

With the first release of numbers, 17,617 ballots have been counted, with an estimated 1,800 left to count.

The next update will be released Wednesday, Nov. 3 at 5 PM.
