Conservative Republicans Abby Trent, Mike Kubiniec, Brian Sloan and Anita Kurn were elected Tuesday to the Iredell-Statesville school board.

Iredell-Statesville is one of 42 North Carolina counties that hold partisan school board races. At 25, Abby Trent is the youngest person to serve on a school board in North Carolina (much to the dismay or Roy Cooper). Click the play button to hear Trent’s comments regarding her win.
