Incumbent Staci Baldwin will serve another six years on the Lewiston School Board along with newcomer Jon Lang.

Baldwin received 5,433 and Lang had 3,570 votes for Tuesday’s election.

Baldwin, who has served on the school board since 2013, said she is excited to continue to serve and was humbled and thankful for the voter turnout.

“I really enjoy our board and the people on it,” she said. “I’m looking forward to working for the students, staff and patrons of the district.”

Baldwin and Lang ran a joint campaign, supporting each other in the election. Baldwin said that Lang will be a good asset with his calm demeanor and negotiating skills, although she will miss board President Brad Rice, who did not seek reelection.

Lang said that he is excited to begin serving on the board.

“I really am looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s new territory, but certainly nothing I haven’t dealt with before in the business world.”

He said he is a team player and is looking forward to serving with other members of the board.

“I’m happy to be working with four other solid people for the betterment of Lewiston kids,” he said.

Lang commended the current school board’s accomplishments such as the campaign to build a new high school, the restructuring of the junior high schools to middle schools and the way it handled the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing that Rice was stepping down, he wanted to help keep the school board in the direction it was heading with the people that were already there.

In school board races on the Palouse, incumbent Ken Faunce will continue to serve on the Moscow School Board for another four-year term, while the race for Zone 5 remains close.
