He just didn&#8217;t realize that day would come so soon. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He would have been formidable against any opponent against whom he would have run,&#8221; Bell told CBS News. <\/p>\n<p>And Drew says it was Bell&#8217;s &#8220;guidance&#8221; that &#8220;helped me and prepared me so much for this moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But there was a catch in Drew&#8217;s campaign. To get elected, Drew would have to defeat the incumbent, a beloved lifelong resident and conservative: Bell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wavy.com\/news\/politics\/candidates\/candidate-profile-kenneth-bell-surry-board-of-supervisors-special-election-dendron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">had held<\/a> the position since this summer in an interim capacity after the former supervisor resigned. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drew was challenging his own mentor. But both said it didn&#8217;t create an uncomfortable situation at all. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because he was very receptive,&#8221; Drew said. &#8220;We were both respectful about it, so it was never an awkward moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, during the campaign, Bell said he found himself defending Drew, especially on the age issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, he&#8217;s young, but he&#8217;s really invested in trying to make a difference,&#8221; Bell said, admitting that he realizes it&#8217;s rare for a political candidate to defend his opponent. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, you have to be a teacher, I think, to really know this and to see somebody who you helped shape and mold take this brave step, not knowing what&#8217;s going to happen,&#8221; Bell said. <\/p>\n<p>In the end, Drew won <a href=\"https:\/\/enr.elections.virginia.gov\/results\/public\/surry-county\/elections\/2025-November-General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">by just eight votes<\/a> at last count, according to unofficial state election results \u2014 345 to 337, a margin of just 1.2%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bell happily conceded. And what did he say to Drew following his former student&#8217;s narrow win?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congratulations, and I&#8217;m so proud of you,&#8221; Bell said. &#8220;And I love you.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Said Drew, &#8220;I&#8217;m just lost for words because of the fact he&#8217;s been so gracious.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section
