Sheila Brumley led the race for two seats on Greensburg council Tuesday night with 36.1% of the vote with all precincts reporting.

Randy Finfrock and Carrie Hamley received 34.86% and 28.27% of the vote, respectively, according to unofficial returns.

Brumley, 53, is an appointee who was her first full elected term on council. Director of parks and recreation, she operates a business that makes custom-painted wood signs and home décor, is president of the Greensburg Salem Education Foundation and serves on the event leadership team for Relay for Life of Westmoreland County.

Finfrock, 72, is completing his fourth term on council and serves as its longtime director of accounts and finance. He formerly served on the city planning commission and recycling task force and is retired as manager of Atlantic Financial Savings & Loan and director of enrollment management at Westmoreland County Community College.

Finfrock and Brumley campaigned jointly with a fellow incumbent city Democrat — Mayor Robb Bell, who also won re-election.

Republican challenger Hamley, 45, operates home-based business and works as a clerk in the Westmoreland County Recorder of Deeds Office. She is a member of the Republican state committee and a former public school teacher.

Finfrock has said this would be his last campaign for council. He said he wants to help the city stay in good financial shape, maintaining services without relying on tax increases for general purposes. Council added a 1-mill property tax hike last year to pay for a $1 million loan for public safety expenses.

Brumley said she wants to continue with improvements to the city’s recreational facilities. Several playgrounds were updated this year, as was the Kirk S. Nevin ice arena.

Hamley said she would like the city to pursue improvements in parking and infrastructure, citing storm drainage concerns. She has called for increased steps to hold absentee landlords accountable for run-down properties while helping resident homeowners to keep sidewalks in repair.
