November 5, 2014

Despite reports that Democratic incumbent Faylene Owen will keep her seat on the MSU Board of Trustees, unofficial results from the Secretary of State as of 10 a.m. indicate Republican Melanie Foster is the winner.

Owen is trailing with 23 percent of the vote. Republican Jeff Fakwa, despite being one of the leaders last night, has 22 percent of the vote.
