Hernando County voters elected Michelle Bonczek as the District 4 school board member on Tuesday night, by about ten percentage points.

Bonczek said she is feeling great after the win. 

“I did everything I could do,” she said. 

Michelle Bonczek and Mark Cioffi were vying for the open seat left by incumbent Gus Guadagnino, who chose not to seek re-election. Cioffi dramatically outspent Bonczek in the race, $68,697 to $3,635.

During the primary election, Bonczek, Cioffi and Gregg Laskoski split the vote, with Bonczek receiving 28.84%, Cioffi securing 44.34% and Laskoski getting 26.81%.

Bonczek is a Florida native. She was born in New Port Richey but moved to Hernando County when she was 9. She also worked as a substitute teacher at Deltona Elementary and Explorer K-8. She is now a stay-at-home mother.

Now that the election is over, Bonczek is ready to get to work.

“So hopefully, after I get sworn in, we can get to business and start to really make our schools great,” she said.
