In the race for two, six-year seats on the Hempfield board of supervisors, Republicans George Reese (35.9%) and Jay Anderson (24.1%) prevailed over Jerry Fagert and Becky Durbin, with 100% of precincts tallied.

A little over 680 write-in votes were cast on the Democratic ballot.

Anderson, 55, said he has been involved with the township’s zoning hearing board and worked on the township’s comprehensive plan, and running for supervisor seemed like a logical next step. A real estate appraiser, Anderson said he would like to see more community development and a push to add business in the area of Westmoreland Mall and Live! Casino Pittsburgh.

Reese, 58, is a self-employed general contractor who was running for his second term on the board. He hopes to continue to be part of preserving township services for residents at a millage rate that has remained stagnant for decades.

“It takes work to maintain that,” he said.

Vote totals are unofficial until certified.
