| Chester's most popular politician? |
In case you missed it, there was a primary election held in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
The results prove that Portia West may be Chester’s most popular politician as she received a whopping 939 votes, which is a lot even in a general election. William Al Jacobs will rejoin her in City Council as they far outnumbered their Republican challengers. We'll see how it pans out in the general election.
William Riley proved to be no chump as he gathered 848 votes to lead all school board candidates. Republican Shakuwra Randolph made the top 4.
In County Council, Chester’s Pat Worrell obtained 808 votes from Chester, but not nearly enough from the rest of the county to serve in Media.
The most intriguing victory went to Dawn Vann who defeated Marilyn Lee for District Judge...sort of.
Since Vann cross filed, the Democrats gave her more votes than Lee on that ticket. But as a stand alone Republican, Vann had fewer votes than Lee received as a Democrat. It would have been interesting if Lee had cross filed, huh?
As always, Chester voters always seem to vote for non Chester candidates more than their own. The Register of Wills, County Controller, Judges for Superior Court and Court of Common Pleas with no Chester connections got far more votes than the Chester district judges. I’ll never understand that about Chester voters.

Question i know that there are 4 open seats on the school board but for city council how many seats are open?
ReplyDeleteTwo. Councilpersons West and Jacobs will represent the Democrats. Garner and Randolph will represent the Republicans. In November, the top two vote getters among the four of them will become your council persons.
Deleterep needed dems vote to win 7 percent came out we need 100percent to come out vote
ReplyDeletefrom all the dems see you in nov.
What ever happen to Portia allowing her crew to use scrap metal they get on the job and sell it and get money for themselves. This was going on when she had her car repo.
ReplyDeleteyour mom got her house forclosed anonymous may 27 at 939pm
ReplyDeleteThat is not the only thing going on with the streets dept. These guys are drinking on the job and picking up trash from people using City Ford trucks for thier own personal reasons. I seen a City truck worker allowing a lady to put her trash onto the truck, take a ride to Chatham Estaes and you will see for yourself. Eventually all things you think you're doing will come to the light.
ReplyDeleteIt goes to show she is not in it for the money, she is struggling like the rest of us!!! so sad personal attacks, FEAR
ReplyDeleteThe streets department as been out of control forever. I saw workers in 2006 (who was in office??) at Sleepy Hollow every friday during the summer getting alcohol.
