Results are not yet official, but Chester County reports that Republican Geoffrey Gamble unseated incumbent Democrat Whitney Hoffman for supervisor in Kennett Township. According to the county, Gamble took 54 percent of the vote with 1,358 votes to Hoffman’s 1,148.

Hoffman and her fellow incumbents have been feeling pressure ever since the public learned that former township manager Lisa Moore embezzled more than $3.2 million from the township. The township’s bank initially caught the irregularities, not the supervisors or auditor. As a result, residents said they had lost trust in the government, and Gamble ran on an effort to restore that trust.

Also in Kennett, Libertarian Jean McManus is the new auditor in the township. She ran unopposed.

In Delaware County, Concord Township residents saw a large candidate field for township council. There were 12 candidates — six Democrats and six Republicans — going after the six available seats. According to Delaware County’s website, six Republicans, five incumbents, and one newcomer, each did better than their Democrat counterparts.

Lori Davenport received the highest vote total of the Democrats with 2,034 votes, while Vinita Deshmukh had the lowest tally among the Republicans with 2,680 votes. Former Republican Council member Joshua Twersky ran as a Democrat and got 2,019 votes.

Under normal circumstances, only four seats would have been up for election, each for a four-year term. However, two council members resigned in late 2019. Council appointed two replacements, Deshmukh and Colleen Morrone, a former supervisor and county council member.

The candidate lineup became a little more involved when Councilman Tom Mahoney decided not to seek re-election. Morrone then filed to run for that seat — a four-year term — and Larry Mutschler ran for a two-year term, as did Deshmukh.

The only seat that was not up for election is the one currently held by John Crossan. Going back to the council are Dominic Pileggi, John Gillespie, Dana Rankin, Morrone, Deshmukh, and Mutschler.

There were other contested races in Pocopson and East Marlborough townships. Democrat Elaine DiMonte won another term in Pocopson by defeating Teresa Del Campo by 516-473, according to Chester County. The county also reports that Republican William Mullin beat Democrat Kathryn Monohan by two votes, 1,233 to 1,231.

Again, though, the results are not official until certified,

In uncontested races, Samantha Reiner will serve another term as Chadds Ford Township supervisor. Democrats in Chadds Ford support Reiner. There were even campaign promotional pens with Reiner’s name at the Democrat’s table outside the polls.

Democratic Party Vice Chair Jesse Sheppard said, “We’re supportive of Samantha. She cares about Chadds Ford residents and her actions speak louder than words.”

Other uncontested races saw Aaron McIntyre earning another term in Pennsbury, Michael Shiring in Birmingham, William Kelsall in Newlin, Emory Taylor in West Marlborough, and Burling Vannote for a two-year term in East Marlborough.

In Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board races, Jeff Hellrung and Elise Anderson were elected to new terms in office in Region A, while incumbent Steve Simonson was elected to another term to represent region B. Joining the board as a newcomer is Mabel C. Yu who will represent Region B replacing To Day who did not run for re-election.
