In what was a very large election turnout, Donald Trump is the presumptive winner of the 2024 Presidential Election. Trump is currently projected to obtain 277 electoral college votes, with 20 more electoral college votes currently leaning towards Trump in Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska. But of course there’s a lot more on the line than just the Presidency, with Hagerstown and Washington County voters deciding key races including Mayor, City Council, and Board of Education.

For Congressional District 6, Parrott and Delaney are currently in a very close race, with Parrot only 315 votes behind Delaney. Additional mail-in and provisional ballots will still need to be counted before this race can be called, but as the mail-in ballots will typically trend Democrat, it’s looking likely that Delaney has secured the congressional seat. However, Alsobrooks also secured a Senate seat, with 1,289,266 (52.11%) to Hogan’s 1,119,088 (45.23%). Mike Scott, the Libertarian candidate, received 59,960 (2.42%), which is extremely impressive considering Scott did not raise or spend any funds as part of his campaign.
In the Hagerstown elections, Bill McIntire secured a decisive victory in the mayoral race, earning 69.92% of the vote with a total of 7,950 votes. His opponent, Stephen S. Schutte, had withdrawn earlier in the race due to a job promotion, but still received 2,855 votes, amounting to 25.11%.

In the City Council election, voters selected five council members from a competitive field. The winners included Kristin B. Aleshire, leading with 5,836 votes (13.41%), followed by Tiara R. Burnett with 5,745 votes (13.20%), Erika T. Bell with 4,860 votes (11.16%), Caroline Anderson with 4,119 votes (9.46%), and Sean Flaherty with 4,094 votes (9.40%). However, it is important to note that Mark Bell trails Flaherty by only 20 votes, so it’s possible the final seat may still be contested once accounting for mail-in and provisional ballots.
For the Washington County Board of Education, four candidates were elected. Charles A. Burkett topped the list with 26,114 votes (14.18%), followed closely by Ashley McCusker with 25,919 votes (14.08%). Victoria Beachley received 25,715 votes (13.97%), and April Ann Zentmeyer garnered 24,797 votes (13.47%), filling the remaining seats. Zentmeyer holds a 2,772 vote lead over Stan Stouffer, so it’s likely mail-in and provisional ballots will not affect that race.
