Two Incumbents Defeated in Easton School Board Race

Incumbent Easton Area School Board members Millie Mandarino and Jodi Hess  failed to retain their seats in Tuesday's primary, while incumbent Kerri Leonard-Ellison won a Democratic nomination, according to unofficial results. 

Mandarino and Hess sought nominations for two of the three available Region 1 seats, each with a four-year term. But unofficial results show Bob Arnts, William Rider and Robert Fehnel winning nominations from both parties for the November ballot.

Meanwhile, it was the race for the four-year seat in Region 3 that came down to the wire.

Unofficial results show Frank Castrovinci with 514 Republican votes and 543 Democratic votes, while Leonard-Ellison got 507 Republican and 679 Democratic votes -- giving Castrovinci the Republican nomination and Leonard-Ellison the Democratic nomination.
