Primary Election In Doylestown: Who's On The Ballot

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Tuesday is Primary Election Day across Pennsylvania, and a number of local races will appear on the ballot.

Democratic voters in Doylestown Borough will decide the party nomination for mayor, and given that there are no Republican candidates on the ballot, the winner of the primary will likely go on to win the general election, barring a successful write-in campaign. The three candidates are Noni West, who serves on Doylestown Borough Council; Judith Fraivillig, an educator; and Larissa "Lolly" Hopwood, a musician and activist. Incumbent Mayor Ron Strouse is not seeking a third term.

Meanwhile, incumbent Sheriff Milt Warrell, a Democrat, faces a worthy primary challenger in Mark Lomax, who has the backing of the Bucks County Democratic Committee. Fred Harran is the only Republican running for the position.

In the race for county controller, candidates Andrew Warren, a former Bucks County commissioner, and Pamela Van Blunk, a local attorney, are both seeking the Republican nomination. The winner will take on Democratic incumbent Neale Dougherty in the November general election.

Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub, a Republican, is seeking another four-year term. Antonetta Stancu, a Democrat, is the only candidate running against him.

Meanwhile, three candidates are running for a Bucks County seat on the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas:

• Tiffany Thomas-Smith (cross-filing)
• Amir Stark (R)
• Stephen Corr (cross-filing)
