Incumbents, former council member get nominations/By Martha Knight




Four incumbents have won the Republican nominations for the four Port Allegany Borough Council posts up for election this November, and a former council member won the Democratic primary, also, without opposition in May 21 balloting.
 
Republican nominees are David A. Fair, with 104 votes; Francis (Sam) Dynda Jr, 126; Judith A. Taylor, 125; and Andrew M. Johnson, 148. Numbers reflect results from both election districts in the borough. Results were unofficial pending validation by the McKean County Board of Elections.
 
Former council member Lewis Duell received 30 votes from fellow Democrats. His candidacy will make the November election a best-four-of-five contest.

In his first time seeking elective office, George Riley received 138 votes to become the Republican nominee for mayor. Incumbent Don Carley did not seek another term. Riley had no primary opponent, and no one sought the Democratic nomination.  Martha Knight Photos
