| Description | "For the first time, Democrats have taken the majority of the county commissioners seat in Montgomery.
Democrats Leslie Richards and Josh Shapiro claimed victory over their Republican counterparts Tuesday night.
“We’re extraordinarily proud of our victory and looking forward to working in a bipartisan way to tackle the tough issues ahead. We’re extremely grateful to the voters of Montgomery County for the confidence they’ve shown,” said Shapiro.
Richards, who said she is looking forward to some much-needed rest after a hectic campaign seasons, said she is eager to meet with the planning commission in her first few days in office.
“We’ve been working really hard, been campaigning on a plan, and knew that if we could implement it, we would win,” she said.“I never dreamed of coming in one in two it feels really, really good.”
Incumbent Bruce Castor, a Republican, held the third-highest number of votes as of 11:30 p.m., with 59,781. He maintains his seat on the Board of Commissioners but remains in the minority on the board." |
