Easton voters on Tuesday elected three new members to the seven-person city council, which looks to remain made up of all Democrats.
Only voters in District 2 — covering most of the West Ward — faced a choice on the ballot, with Republican Sharbel Koorie running against Democrat Julie Zando-Dennis.
According to unofficial results with all precincts reporting, Zando-Dennis took 705 votes to 384 for Koorie — a percentage split of 65-35 between the total votes for the two.
Results are unofficial until certified. Approaching midnight Tuesday, Northampton County reported all Election Day votes, partial mail-in ballots and no provisional ballots.
Koorie is a city code enforcement officer whose business ventures include owning Daddy’s Place restaurant in the West Ward and running a DJ business for 40 years.
Zando-Dennis works as an assistant vice president/senior claims examiner, specializing in construction defects for Berkley Alliance Managers, a major insurance company.
In Easton’s Districts 1 and 3, voters ousted incumbents in the Democratic primary held in May. No Republicans were on the primary ballot in these areas.
In District 1, covering primarily College Hill and Downtown, city planning commission member Frank Graziano III defeated longtime council member and retired Lafayette College professor Roger Ruggles.
In the South Side’s District 3, Easton Area School Board member Susan Hartranft-Bittinger received the Democratic nomination over first-term incumbent Taiba Sultana.
Easton City Council members serve four-year terms.
