Controversial Parkway School Board candidate Jeanie Ames lost her bid for office Tuesday night.

Five people were in the running for two spots on the board. Matt Schindler and Kevin Seltzer won the two seats with about 30 percent each; Ames finished with about 12 percent of the vote.

Parkway weathered an unusually partisan and contentious school board race this year. Ames generated much of that controversy with her social media history, in which she retweeted a tweet about banning Islam in the U.S., called Michelle Obama a “giant rat” and called herself a Confederate. A dark money group with ties to MassResistance Missouri, which has been designated a hate group, also involved itself in the race.
