2021 Primary Election Day In Norristown: Who's On The Ballot

NORRISTOWN, PA — The 2021 primary election in Pennsylvania is just around the corner, and several municipal races are on the ballot for local voters to decide.

Many of the races that appear on the ballots are uncontested in the primary, meaning that the only real decision voters will need to make will come in the general election in November.

However, there are some important primary races that will be determined May 18, not to mention the ballot questions on proposed constitutional amendments.

Here's a glance at what voters will see in the Norristown area:

In the school directors race, there are a slew of candidates that have cross-filed as both Democrats and Republicans, so the primary is serving as something of a preliminary, non-partisan qualifying round. There are four seats available for a four year term. On the Democratic side, there are eight candidates: Shae Ashe, Cynthia Wirth, Marissa Dell, Tamika Mezache, Mao Howell, Chirstopher Jaramillo, Daniel De Kok Sr., and Lisa Licwinko-Engelman.

The Republican ballot is all of the same candidates but Howell and Mezache.

A few key seats for four-year terms on borough council have multiple candidates, on the Democratic side.

There are two at-large seats, and three Democrats competing for it: Tiffani Hendley, Fernando Feliciano Jr., and Rebecca Smith.

Similarly, there is one Ward 3 council seat, and two Democratic candidates, Ana Santoyo and Dustin S. Queenan.
