Rain, Off-Year Yields Low Turnout

For many reasons, including the weather and lack of contested races, voter turnout was low today, according to several poll workers.

According to the Bucks County website, there are several projected winners for each party for open spots in Northampton.

The township auditor position was not contested, therefore Karen Jim will be on the Republican ticket and Paul Kelly Lang, Jr. will run on the Democrat ticket.

The open seat on the Board of Supervisors will be a race between Kimberly Rose, Democrat, and Vincent Deon, Republican, according to projections. 

In Council Rock School District, open seats for Northampton were in regions four, five and seven. Region four will go to incumbant Wendi Thomas, who cross-filed. Region five will have incumbant Jerold Grupp on the Republican ticket and Elaine Rovner on the Democratic ticket. Region seven went uncontested to incumbant Patty Sexton.

Running for county commissioner on the Republican side will be Charlie Martin and Robert Loughery. On the Democratic side voters will have Det Ansinn and Diane Ellis-Marseglia to choose from.

James McMaster won both sides for the judge of the court of common pleas position, and the rest of the races were either uncontested or do not yet have an officially projected winner, according to county results.
