Ex-State Rep's Wife, Former Mattison Teacher Face Off for Ambler Mayor

Democrats Frank DeRuosi and Jeanne Sorg are seeking the open mayor seat in Ambler Borough Primary. There are no Republican challengers.

The wife of former Democratic 151st District state Representative Rick Taylor and a former teacher at Mattison Avenue Elementary are battling for the top vote from the Democrats on Tuesday for Ambler Borough mayor.

Either Allyson Schwartz-endorsed Jeanne Sorg or current Blue Bell Elementary teacher Frank DeRuosi will then move on to the November ballot, and ultimately, with no Republican challengers, become the new mayor. Current Mayor Bud Wahl is not seeking re-election.

An individual can run as independent in the November election.
