Guy Rutter, the former Galt fire official who was endorsed by out-going Cosumnes CSD director Gerald Derr, easily won a seat on the district's board of directors, raking in a massive 14,232 votes in the election, outpacing popular local businessman and incumbent, Gil Albiani, by 160 votes.
Newcomer Michelle Orrock grabbed the third open Cosumnes CSD board seat, edging community stalwart Sandi Russell by 572 votes.
Long-time incumbent Doug McElroy, seeking his fifth term on the CCSD board, finished fifth ahead of Jimmie Johnson and Rod Brewer. McElroy and Brewer - along with Orrock - had been endorsed by the local firefighters union, but that didn't seem to help them Tuesday. McElroy had almost 13 percent of the vote while Brewer nabbed just more than 7 percent of the vote.
The new Cosumnes CSD board of directors will include Keith Grueneberg, Elaine Wright, Michelle Orrock, Gil Albiani, and Guy Rutter.
More news and stories about the Cosumnes CSD election will be published in Friday's Citizen
