DUMFRIES, Va. — Gwen Washington will keep her seat on the Dumfries Town Council.
Of the 1,422 votes cast in Dumfries on Wednesday, 1,068 went to Washington.
In all, two seats on the Town Council were up for grabs yesterday.
Two candidates campaigned as write-in candidates: incumbent Town Council Member Louis Parino and businessman Derrick Wood.
A total of 668 write-in votes were cast, but the winner of the race will not be known until the statement of results has been finalized, said Prince William County Voter Registrar Betty Wiemer.
The results are being posted to the Virginiaâs elections website this morning. The results of this race did not come in until 2:45 a.m., said Weimer.
Washington is a life-long resident of Dumfries and a staff member at Dumfries Elementary School. An incumbent, she was appointed to the Town Council to serve following the death of Mayor Fred Yohe to fill a seat vacated by Nancy West who is no longer on the Council.
