In the unofficial results, two incumbent Republicans were ousted.
It was a happy night for the Phoenixville Democratic Committee. Four of their five candidates won council seats, with the North Ward the lone ward to go to the Republicans. Democrat Michael Speck, who has served on council for four years, won his race against Republican Brady Appleman in the East Ward. Speck hosted a gathering for committee members in his home Tuesday night, and the mood was celebratory. Speck thanked the voters for coming out and gave praise to Appleman. "He ran a respectful campaign," Speck said. He noted that he was disappointed about the low numbers--only 466 votes were tallied in the ward--but said he was pleased that there would be some new blood on council. "I'm enthused about the new members," Speck said. "I …

A candidate dropped out following the primary, leaving an equal number of candidates and open seats.
With five seats up for grabs and five candidates on the ballot, there's not much of a race for Phoenixville Area School Board. Following a contested primary that started with seven candidates, one was knocked out when he didn't garner enough votes to move on to the general election. Then, candidate Leslie Dengler, who would have appeared on the general election ballot, filed papers to withdraw from the race in July. That left the five remaining candidates, but with a twist. Because Dengler had won in the Republican and Democratic primaries, both local parties could have chosen someone to replace her, making it seven candidates for the five open seats. Neither party chose a replacement, however, and so the Nov. 8 ballot will show the …

The Oaks Neighborhood Association sponsored Meet the Candidates Night.
For a majority of Tuesday night’s Meet the Candidates Night for the open seat on the Upper Providence Township Board of Supervisors, Democrat George Faris and Republican Lisa Mossie came across as identical candidates when it came to issues concerning township residents. The event, sponsored by the Oaks Neighborhood Association and attended by roughly 75 people, heard Faris and Mossie tackle the issues of traffic, development, open space and open meetings as both candidates supported each other’s opinions most times. As for the other few minutes, however, Mossie made reference in her opening statement about a flier sent out to residents linking her to the Tea Party and a question later in the hour by a resident asking Faris about the flier…
