How did the primary election play out for the open North Hills school director seats that are up in 2021? It sounds confusing, but according to the TribLive North Journal, it breaks downs like this:
- Six of the eight candidates seeking party nominations in Tuesday’s primary will run against each other in November for four open seats on the North Hills school board.
- Only two of the four incumbent board members whose seats are up at the end of the year ran in the spring contest.
- Incumbents Allison Mathis and Sandy Kozera were nominated on the Democratic ticket along with Mike Santucci and Elizabeth Nease.
- Santucci and Nease also were received nominations on the GOP ticket along with Dale Bricker Jr. and Joe Muha, who previously served on the school board.
- School Directors Annette Givengo Nolish and Kathy Reid will step down after completing their terms at the end of the year.
Furthermore, all eight candidates running in the primary were cross-filed on the Democratic and Republican tickets, the Tribune-Review reported.
The four candidates who receive the highest number of votes on each primary ticket win the respective party’s nomination to run in the Nov. 2 general election, the Tribune-Review reported.
