In an interview Friday, Crawford County Commissioner John Christopher Soff told UC Today that Bloomfield Township residents will have to wait for all primary election mail-in ballots to be counted and write-in votes to be adjudicated to learn the final results of the contest for Township Supervisor. There were no candidates on either ballot, however, Bill Croker leads both write-in vote counts with 67 out of 75 on the Republican side and 23 out of 26 on the Democratic side. According to Soff, the minimum number of write-in votes needed in the PA primary for township supervisor is 10, meaning Croker will appear on both tickets in the general election unless there is a lead change due to mail-in ballots. The winner in November will replace outgoing supervisor Dan Gourley whose 6 year term ends at the end of the year.
In the contest for Bloomfield Township Auditor six-year term Barbara Gago was uncontested and won the Democratic vote with 54 out of 54. There is currently no clear winner on the Republican side or in the four-year Auditor contest.
