Mara Hird will be the new Wauzeka-Steuben School District board member, as the district continues discussions of a referendum. 

Hird, a People’s State Bank loan officer, won Tuesday’s spring election with 184 votes, defeating Kathleen Schwartz, a De Soto school teacher, who garnered 138 votes. She will step into the shoes of outgoing board president Bill Marfilius, who lost in February’s primary election.

Hird won the majority vote in all of the district’s wards except two—the town of Eastman, which Schwartz won 23-17, and in the town of Haney, where the women tied. Otherwise, Mara’s victory was secured mostly by the Wauzeka village electorate, which gave her 81 votes over Schwartz’s 49. 

A lifelong district resident, Hird is 30 years old and has two young children enrolled at Wauzeka-Steuben.
