Five vie for open Sunbury council seat
SUNBURY — Five Sunbury residents have thrown their names in to be appointed to the city council after the resignation of Lisa Martina. Victoria Rosancrans, Andres Manresa, Andrew Ramos, James Brumbach and former Treasurer Kevin Troup all have submitted letters of interest, according to the mayor's office. Mayor Josh Brosious said the city was accepting letters of interest for the open five-month council seat until Friday. Elected members would take their seats in January. Potential candidates will be interviewed Monday prior to the regular council meeting at City Hall. Brosious said council will then vote on the candidate at the meeting that night. Martina resigned her seat last month after the council appointed her treasurer. She won the Republican nomination for the position in the May primary and will be unopposed in November. Troup, who resigned as treasurer in June, and current Councilman Nate Savidge won Republican nominations for council in May. City resident Andres Manresa won a Democratic nod. Voters will pick two of the three in November. According to the Northumberland County Elections Office, a secondary election for Martina's former council seat will be held Nov. 4. Rosancrans withdrew her Democratic nomination to the Shikellamy school board, leaving the party to pick a ballot replacement for the ballot. Five people — once the Democrats pick their replacement — will vie for four seats. Current school Director Jenna Eister-Whitaker and political newcomers Tara Sprenkel and Chris Bucher all won dual nominations. Dennis Deitrich gained a Republican nod. City council meets at 6:15 p.m. inside City Hall on Market Street.

Sunbury to have second city council race in fall after two resignations
SUNBURY — A secondary election for a seat on the Sunbury City Council will be needed after Councilwoman Lisa Martina has announced her resignation. Martina was appointed as city treasurer and resigned from her existing seat on council with two years remaining in her term. She won the Republican nomination for treasurer and is on the ballot unapposed in the fall. The current Sunbury Treasurer, Kevin Troup, a Republican, announced his resignation in May after winning the nomination for one of two open seats for city council in the May primary. Martina announced her resignation from council Monday after she was appointed by the board to become the acting city treasurer, even though she will still remain on the ballot in November. She takes the office over on June 30, the same day Troup is finished. Councilman Nate Savidge and Troup secured Republican nominations in the spring. They will join Democrat Andres Manresa on the ballot in the fall, for two contested seats. Martina's empty seat will be part of a secondary election on Nov. 4, Northumberland County Director of Elections Lindsay Phillips. Phillips said both the Republican and Democratic parties will each nominate a candidate to run for the seat. On Monday, City Council announced officials will be accepting applications for individuals interested in filling the seat until January. Chief Clerk Jeff Wojciechowski said as of Friday, he has not received any letters of interest. Phillips said the decision to appoint a council member until January or until November — after the secondary election is decided — would be up to city officials. Mayor Josh Brosious said he recently found out the secondary election was triggered and that he still intends to attempt to fill the seat in the meantime. 'We will still try to attempt to fill the position until the secondary election is decided in November,' Brosious said. 'If this seat can't be filled, it will remain vacant until the residents vote for their candidate of choice.' The only council member on the board that would not be involved in a race this fall is Councilman Jim Eister, who still has more than two years left in his term. Currently, the board consists of Brosious, Eister, Savidge and John Barnhart. The first election, involving Troup, Savidge and Manresa, is to fill the seats currently held by Savidge and Barnhart. The secondary election candidates would be announced in the next few weeks by their parties. Anyone looking to fill the current open council seat is asked to drop off a letter of interest to City Hall, on Market Street.
