PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Two candidates ran on the Democratic ballot to fill a single Middle Ward Borough Council seat in Phoenixville in Tuesday's Primary Election in Pennsylvania, as Tracy Lee Tackett challenged incumbent Beth Burckley. Races for other Phoenixville Borough Council seats were uncontested, with the exception of the Middle Ward race between Burckley and Tackett. Primary Election results in that race were in favor of Burckley. Burkley has represented Phoenixville's Middle Ward since 2018 and serves as chair for the Police, Personnel, and Public Safety Committee. Tacket, a longtime planning and zoning consultant to local governments had not previously held public office. Mayor Peter Urscheler was the only candidate for mayor on Phoenixville's ballot, appearing on the Democratic ballot. He has been mayor since January 2018. Candidates to represent other wards were also uncontested. For Phoenixville Area School District's Board of Directors Director at Large, Phoenixville's primary ballots — both Republican and Democrat — listed four candidates. Running for four openings on PASD's board were Scott Overland, Emily Shanley, Caitlyn M. Carminito, and Susan Turner, who was added to the board in September. Five candidates appear on the Democratic ballot for Judge in the Court of Common Pleas. Three of the five are cross-filed on both ballots, and Republican voters must choose two of these three: Lou Mincarelli, P.J. Redmond, and Alita Rovito. Democratic party members can choose two from among those three and also Carlos Barraza and Tony Verwey. Make sure you know what's happening in your town.
