There were no surprises in Tuesday’s midterm General Election for voters in Fountain Hills.

The Fountain Hills Unified School District Governing Board was the only local election on the ballot. Incumbents Judith Rutkowski (5,083), Dr. Wendy Barnard (4,556) and newcomer Nadya Jenkins (4,297) were the only names on the ballot and were elected based on initial results.

Jenkins is replacing Edith Stock, who is retiring. Bob Shelstrom was competing as a write-in candidate for the School Board, but no numbers for write-in candidates have been released.
