One Democrat, One Republican Running for North Strabane Supervisor

One Democrat incumbent and one Republican who was formerly a supervisor are running for board seats in North Strabane Township this year.

Current board chairman Steve Motzer, who's six-year term will be up at the end of 2013, is not seeking re-election.

That means that both a two-year term and a six-year term will be up for grabs in the November 2013 general election.

Supervisor Bill Brooks, a retired General Electric employee, is seeking the Democratic nomination for both seats in the May 21 primary, while former supervisor Rob Balogh, a network administrator, is seeking the Republican nomination for both seats.

After losing a bid for re-election in the last municipal election, Brooks was appointed to fill the supervisor seat vacated when Greg Sulc resigned to take the position of township parks and recreation director.

Balogh, who did not secure the Republican nomination for board seat during the last municipal race, also lost a bid to become Washington County coroner.
