Ellen Drechsler won re-election as Davie County’s Clerk of Court Tuesday night, beating challenger and former employee Sonya Spry 5,809 to 4,120 votes.
“Thank you to all of my friends and family,” she said. “I look forward to serving as your clerk of court for the next four years.”

Many of the attorneys in Davie County campaigned for Spry, who was fired from her job in the clerk’s office after announcing her intentions to seek her boss’s job.
Spry was also thankful. “I appreciate everyone who supported me and voted for me.”
