Tim Hester secures both the Republican and Democratic nominations.
Seneca Valley School Board candidate Tim Hester is moving on to the general election in November. Hester, who cross-filed in the race, won the both the Republican and Democratic nominations over fellow Cranberry resident Judi Rexford in Tuesday’s primary election. Because he won on both tickets, Hester—barring a write-in vote campaign—should be victorious in the fall’s general election. In the only contested race for Seneca Valley School Board, Hester and Rexford were both vying for the Cranberry Township East III and West V, Region 5 seat that’s being vacated by Eric Gordon. Gordon, who was running for Cranberry Township’s Board of Supervisors, lost the Republican nomination Tuesday to candidate Bruce Hezlep. With nine out of nine …

While it’s not a presidential election year—when voters are most likely to turn out—there are plenty of reasons to exercise your right to vote. Local elections are of particular importance. These candidates are the people who will represent you when it comes to determining tax rates, drafting new ordinances and reviewing the businesses that enter the community. Locally, three residents are running for Cranberry Township’s Board of Supervisors for the seat being vacated by Supervisor Dave Root. Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company President Bruce Hezlep and Seneca Valley School Board …

Veterans Jason Wehrle and Eric Gordon will not run in 2013.
A handful of new faces will be running for Seneca Valley’s school board in the May primary election. Frederick V. Peterson, Jr., of Cranberry, has cross-filed to run on the Democratic and Republican ticket for the Cranberry Township West IV and West VI, Region 4 area currently represented by school board member Jason Wehrle. Wehrle, a lawyer from Cranberry whose first term expires this year, has chosen not to run for the board in 2013.

Bruce Hezlep says the time was right to take his volunteerism to the next step.
Another Republican candidate has announced his intention to run for Cranberry’s Board of Supervisors when Dave Root’s term expires at the end of the year. Bruce Hezlep, president of the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company, and a longtime township resident, said that after thinking about it for years, the time was right to take his volunteerism to the next level. “I have really been involved in the community for about 10 years volunteering," he said. "I’m looking to continue to contribute to the community in a different fashion." Hezlep is the second person to announce his intention to run on the GOP ticket in the May primary election. Seneca Valley School Board member Eric Gordon last week also said he would seek the Republican …

Write-in candidate Steve Smith says he will not pursue representing the 12th District in the House of Representatives.
The votes are in, and incumbent state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, will seek his eighth term representing the 12th Legislative District in the fall general election. Barring a write-in campaign, he will not face a challenger in November. After launching a last-minute write-in campaign to take on Metcalfe in the primary election, Steve Smith, principal of Haine Middle School in the Seneca Valley School District, said he is pulling himself out of the race. No candidate had filed to run on the Democratic ballot, and Metcalfe had been unopposed on the Republican ballot before Smith announced his write-in campaign earlier this month. To appear on the ballot in the November general election, Smith, a Republican, needed to win 300 write-in …

Residents complain about email supporting two supervisors that was sent from a township computer.
Cranberry Township has disciplined an employee who forwarded a campaign email from her work address during last Tuesday’s primary election. Linda Rocco, administrative assistant of golf operations at the Cranberry Highlands Golf Course, was given a verbal reprimand, a counseling session, and a reminder of the township’s computer policy after she used her work computer to forward an email from a private email address owned by township Supervisor Bruce Mazzoni. Mazzoni’s email asked voters to support him and fellow supervisor Chairman John Skorupan in their successful reelection bids. At Thursday’s board of supervisors meeting, former Seneca Valley School Board member Tom Roth told officials he was one of the recipients of the email. Jim …
