Plymouth Township Shows Desire for New Leadership in Recent Elections
In a surprising turn of events, long-standing trusty Chuck Curmi outperformed current supervisor Kurt Heise in the Plymouth Township supervisor primary. Notably, Curmi bagged a strong 57% of the total 4,607 votes posted on Tuesday, Aug. 6, overshadowing Heise’s 43%.
Curmi, a lifelong resident of Plymouth Township and 69-years-young, had been a staple in the community. With no Democrats challenging, it is likely he will take control of the supervisor’s chair in November. Heise, on the other hand, had held the supervisor’s position since his election in 2016.
Meanwhile, in the race for township clerk, Jerry Vorva came out victorious, taking home 55% of the votes. Vorva beat out Andrew Miller and is set to combat Democrat Nancy Conzelman in the November elections.
Bob Doroshewitz, the current Treasurer, maintained his hold on his job with an impressive 59% vote, leaving his challenger, Janai Stepp, in the dust. No Democrats have so far expressed their will to run for this position.
Four candidates emerged victorious in the trustees’ competition. John Stewart, Mark Clinton, Jen Buckley, and Sandy Groth will go up against Democrats Bob Miller, Angela Nolan, and Michael Westra in the forthcoming November elections.
The unsuccessful Republican trustee competitors, including Daniel Callahan, incumbent Audrey Monaghan, Paul Schulz, and Greg Bill, were effectively eliminated from the race.
