Democrats hold counties
While not yet verified, it appears that Democrats maintained control of both Chester and Delaware county councils, while Republicans mostly held their own in the townships. Democrats also took all seats in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District races. Republican Timotha Trigg earned her seat on the Chadds Ford Board of Supervisors by running unopposed. She will replace Noelle Barbone who chose not to seek another…
