Sinclair holds lead over Callaway in Washington County District 4 runoff

Hillsboro City Councilor Kipperlyn Sinclair holds the lead over former Hillsboro Mayor Steve Callaway in the race for a seat on the Washington County Board of Commissioners. As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, Sinclair led the District 4 race with 51.1% of the vote, followed by Callaway with 48.1%. Callaway and Sinclair advanced to the November runoff after neither secured the majority needed to win outright in the May 19 primary election. “I knew all along that it would be a close race,” Callaway told the News-Times on election night, noting only 38 votes separated him and Sinclair in the 8 p.m. results. “Now we’re waiting for more results.” “I’m excited that message has resonated with the community. This is clearly shown in the razor-thin margin between Callaway and me,” Sinclair said.
