Today is Primary Day in Pennsylvania. Try not to yawn.
There’s not a lot of sizzle in Delaware County. Both parties will nominate candidates for two vacancies on County Council. There is, I suppose, some interest in whether an unendorsed Republican can knock off one of two party favorites. I wouldn’t bet on Barbara Murray beating either incumbent Councilman Jack Whelan or longtime state Rep. Mario Civera.
There are also three Democrats seeking their party’s two spots on the November ballot.
Incumbent Sheriff Joe McGinn is being challenged within his own party as well, with Michael Boyle looking to crash the GOP-arty.
There’s a judgeship up for grabs. The real question there is whether current County Council member Linda Cartisano can capture enough votes on the Democratic ballot to knock Nancy Rhoads Koons out of the race.
Both are cross-filed. Here’s hoping Rhoads Koons keeps the Dem nod.
Voters deserve a choice in November.
A group of Republicans are bucking their own party in Brookhaven. And there’s always Paula Brown, who is looking to win her old seat back in city hall in Darby.
That’s about it. The most heated race in the region is the five-way brawl for the Democratic nomination for district attorney in Philadelphia.
None of which is an excuse to not exercise your basic civil right today and get to the polls.
You forfeit your right to complain if you don’t take part in the process. Lord knows none of us want to do that.
