Incumbents fare well in Conneaut School Board races
Four of five candidates in two contested Conneaut School Board races will advance to the general election in November, according to unofficial results late Tuesday. Including an incumbent running unopposed in the district's other race, all four of the incumbents on the ballot secured nominations.
The two candidates on the ballot in Region 3 both cross-filed and the outcome was the same in both the Republican and the Democratic primary as incumbent Adam Horne defeated Brooke Leuthold in the race for a single nomination for a four-year term. In the Republican primary, Horne received 428 votes to Leuthold's 148 while in the Democratic primary he received 172 votes to 96 for Leuthold. School board candidates in Pennsylvania are permitted to cross-file for nominations from both parties. Region 3 consists of Conneaut Lake Borough and Sadsbury, Greenwood and East Fallowfield townships.
All three primary candidates in Region 2 will be on the ballot once again in the general election.
Incumbent Dot Luckock cross-filed for both primaries and was the only candidate on the Democratic ballot, where she received 237 votes. Luckock, who has been the board's chair since late 2017, also received 276 votes in the Republican primary, putting her in third place behind Robert Burnham with 401 votes and incumbent John Burnham with 397.
Region 2 consists of Conneautville and Springboro boroughs and Spring, Summerhill and Summit townships.
Incumbent Ryan Klink was the only candidate on the ballot in the Region 1 Republican primary and will advance to the general election with 419 votes. The Democratic primary in Region 1 had no candidates on the ballot. The race received 25 write-in votes that have not yet been tallied.
Region 1 comprises Linesville Borough and Beaver, Conneaut, Pine, North Shenango and West Fallowfield townships.
