DETROIT – Voters in Detroit elected seven members of the newly created Detroit Public Schools Community District Board of Education, though none of them received more than 4 percent of the vote.

A total of 63 Detroit residents filed to run for seats on the board, which was created after state officials dissolved Detroit Public Schools and created the new district as a fresh start for the city’s students after decades of dysfunction.

Tuesday’s winners include LaMar Lemmons, who served on the previous school board, as well as his wife Georgia. They received 27,499 and 35,016 votes, respectively.

Others included Angelique Peterson-Mayberry with the most votes at 37,668, Iris Taylor with 32,669 votes, Misha Stallworth with 30,805, Sonya Mays with 28,606, and Deborah Hunter-Harvill with 27,739 votes, the Detroit Free Press reports.

None of the candidates took home more than 4 percent of the vote.

Peterson-Mayberry, Georgia Lemmons, Stallworth and Taylor met that threshold, while LaMar Lemmons, Mays, and Hunter-Harvill all registered around 3 percent of the vote, according to election results posted by the Detroit News.

According to the Free Press:

All seats were at-large. Daniel Baxter, the city’s director of elections, said the top two vote-getters will serve for six years, the next three will get four-year terms, and the final two will serve for two years.

The winners, who take office in January, will attempt to steady the 45,000-student district following years of severe financial turmoil, poor academic performance and a series of widely criticized state-appointed emergency managers.

A lot is at stake. Just five months ago, the state Legislature approved a controversial and historic $617-million financial restructuring package that split Detroit Public Schools in two, creating the new DPSCD. The old DPS district now exists only to collect tax revenue to pay down debt.

Last month, the Free Press reported that the majority of those running for the new Detroit school board face legal, financial or criminal problems, including 12 candidates who had filed for bankruptcy, 13 who had lost properties for failing to pay their taxes or mortgages, and 28 who had been sued over unpaid bills or other defaults.

Of those who won Tuesday, LaMar Lemmons lost an eviction case in 2005, while Peterson-Mayberry filed for bankruptcy in 2003, faced a default judgement for $1,174 in 2007, and was evicted in 2008.

Hunter-Harvill has also had money problems, including a property she lost in 2013 over $233,473 she owed to a lender, and two small default judgements against her in 2002 and 2015, according to the Free Press.

Fox 2 also pointed out that the Lemmons family has a history of stacking local ballots with family members. LaMar and Georgia Lemmons appeared on the 2016 school board ballot with Georgia’s sister, Bettie Jean Alexander, who received a mere 1 percent of the vote Tuesday.

LaMar also ran for the county register of deeds this year but lost that race.

According to Fox 2:

This isn’t the first time the Lemmons family has loaded a ballot.

In 2004, Lamar, his father and his son ran for the state House in the first, second and third districts. Lamar and his dad won.

In 2006, Lamar’s dad ran for re-election and Lamar ran for state Senate. His dad won, but Lamar lost. Lamar became an unpaid advisor to his father.

Then in 2014, Lamar and his wife filed paperwork to run for the same Senate seat.
