Original story

Polls are closed across Pennsylvania and in the Lansdale area in the 2021 primary election, and results will soon start trickling in.

Lansdale area voters have a number of municipal races to decide during this primary and November's general election, including school board, borough council, judge's seats, and more.

In the North Penn School Directors race, eight candidates are running for four open spots. All eight have cross-filed as both Democrats and Republicans, meaning this primary is especially crucial. On the ballot are Christian Fusco, Tina Stoll, Jessie Bradica, Jonathan Kassa, Michael Kennedy, Harry Snyder, and Frederick Froehilich.

Stoll, Kassa, and Fusco, all incumbents, are all running together, and have the endorsement of existing board members Mark Warren and Jenna Ott.

Challengers Kennedy, Snyder, Froelich, and Bradica, meanwhile, are also running as a block, and have been critical of the district's pandemic response.

"We are not a political machine, we are parents, we are community members, and we listen," Bradica said. "No more politics in the classroom, no more contempt for those who don’t align with our values."

On the Democratic side, Ward 1 has two open seats; Rachel Bollens and Mary Fuller are the only two candidates on the ballot.

Democratic voters in Ward 3 have a decision to make: they must choose two from a field of Mark Ladley, Carrie Hawkins Charlton, and Mohammad Fakrul Islam.

The Magisterial District Judge race in 38-1-28 is also between two cross-filing candidates, Ed Levine and Patrick Hanrahan, so that race will not be formally decided until the general election in November.

Primary voters across Pennsylvania also cast votes on several ballot questions, including a proposed constitutional amendment that would curb the governor's powers in a public health emergency.
