Com­plete but unof­fi­cial results

The Sunbury/Big Wal­nut Area Cham­ber of Com­merce, the Delaware County League of Women Vot­ers, the East­ern Delaware County Repub­li­can Club, and the Delaware County Demo­c­ra­tic Party hosted a standing-room-only “Meet the Can­di­dates Night” in Sun­bury Town Hall Thurs­day. Can­di­dates in con­tested races each were allowed three min­utes to speak and respond to ques­tions. All five Repub­li­cans vying for Delaware County Com­mis­sioner seats par­tic­i­pated. Chal­lengers Joe Gar­rett and Gary Mer­rell are seek­ing the com­mis­sioner seat held by incum­bent Tommy Thomp­son. Chal­lenger Al Myers is seek­ing the seat held by incum­bent Ken O’Brien.

Merrell

Of his three oppo­nents in the March 6 pri­mary for a seat on the Delaware County Board of Com­mis­sion­ers, for­mer Gazette pub­lisher Gary Mer­rell is by far the least polit­i­cally expe­ri­enced. But he does not see his lack of expe­ri­ence in the polit­i­cal arena as a neg­a­tive. In fact, he views it as a pos­i­tive, a chance to inject new ideas into county government.

Al Myers aims to ‘restore civility’ on county commissioner board

Myers

For­mer Delaware County Sher­iff and small busi­ness owner Al Myers is run­ning against incum­bent county com­mis­sioner Ken O’Brien to “bring some civil­ity and pro­fes­sion­al­ism back into the office.”

O'Brien

Incum­bent county com­mis­sioner Ken O’Brien is run­ning for another term to “ensure the tax­payer dol­lars are wisely spent”; and to fin­ish projects cur­rently underway.
