There were no surprises Tuesday in the race for the Seneca Valley School Board as the winners from May's primary election moved on to victory in the general election. Robert J. Hill Jr., Jim Nickel, Reid Moon and Kelly Kopera were elected to four four-year terms. Two of the contested races were settled in the May primary. The other two races were uncontested. A Cranberry Township resident, Nickel was elected on the Republican and Democratic ballots after cross-filing for Region 2 representing Cranberry Township. Kelly Kopera, a benefits consultant from Evans City, also cross-filed to run and was elected on both party tickets. She defeated incumbent board member Joseph A. Scalamogna for the Region 7 seat in the May primary representing …

Two incumbents are elected to the board's two open seats.
Incumbent Chairman John Skorupan and Vice Chairman Bruce Mazzoni on Tuesday breezed through an easy re-election to Cranberry Township’s Board of Supervisors, according to unofficial results from the Butler County Elections Bureau. After May’s primary election, the incumbents were the only two candidates left in the running for two open six-year terms on the township’s Board of Supervisors. Skorupan and Mazzoni, who ran a joint campaign, defeated fellow Republicans Terrence Moore and Dave Steed in the spring. That virtually assured their win—barring write-in votes—in the general election because there were no Democrats on the ballot. With all nine Cranberry voting precincts reporting, results from the Elections Bureau show that Mazzoni …

After defeating Republican D. Raja in Tuesday's election, the Democrat and former county council president looks ahead to priorities once in office
Mass transit, Marcellus Shale, property taxes, the airport and the Allegheny County budget will be on Democrat Rich Fitzgerald’s radar when he takes over as county executive in January. Fitzgerald, 52, of Squirrel Hill, defeated Republican D. Raja, 46, of Mt. Lebanon, by a nearly 2-1 margin in Tuesday’s general election. The former County Council member and president celebrated the win with hundreds of supporters at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers hall on Pittsburgh’s South Side. Many wore green T-shirts with the words, “Welcome to Fitzburgh” on the front. Afterwards, he talked with Patch about his first priorities when taking office. “We’ve got a lot of challenges, transit, stopping the reassessment of our county only…

Dan, Unfortunately, I did not have a good photo of Jim Eckstein from the forum. His eyes were closed in the picture I took of him, which I did not realize until I got to my office. It was not because of any preference or bias toward any candidate and should not be interpreted as such. It was simply my bad camera work. I have added a photo of Mr. Eckstein from his election campaign website. Thanks… more ›
