Montgomery County (select two)

The three-member Montgomery County Board of Commissioners is required to be composed of two individuals from the leading party (Democrats), and one from the other (Republicans).

Sitting Commissioner Joe Gale was ousted during the primary in the spring, so establishment GOP picks Limerick Township Supervisor Tom DiBello and Upper Dublin Commissioner Liz Ferry will face off for the third spot.

The board will look quite different than in previous years, as Democratic Commissioner Jamila Winder is the sitting candidate running. Longtime Commissioner Ken Lawrence is retiring.

Winder is joined by lawyer and Penn professor of politics Neil Makhija on the Democratic ballot.

Other county races: incumbent Democratic sheriff Sean Kilkenny is being challenged by Ed Moye. The clerk of courts, controller, coroner, register of deeds, prothonotary, and recorder of deeds are also all being contested.
