PA voters handed candidates a few upset wins and losses on Tuesday outside of the top tier races. Here are the interesting results from across the state.

Dahlkemper beats out Tucci for Erie County Executive
Jake Williams, Contributing Writer

Former Rep. Kathy Dahlhkemper (D-Erie) secured her spot as Erie County Executive, winning nearly 57 percent of the vote.

Dahlkemper faced businessman and Tea Party activist, Don Tucci, whose campaign was plagued by personal troubles. Tuci secured just under 23,000 votes — 9,000 less than Dahlkemper.

Prior to running for county executive, Dahlkemper considered a bid for Pa. Governor.

This victory, and a successful term in the county executive slot could propel Dahlkemper to statewide office — or, for a return to D.C, where she was defeated by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Butler) in 2010.

Democrat Tim Scott upsets Carlisle Mayor

With all precincts reporting, Councilman Tim Scott defeated incumbent Bill Kronenberg to become Carlisle borough’s next mayor.

It took only 1,354 votes for Carlisle’s Democratic candidate for mayor to claim victory.

Borough Council vice president Tim Scott beat Republican Mayor Doc Kronenberg by just over 200 votes. Kronenberg, a Republican, was appointed mayor in January in 2012 when Kirk Wilson resigned.

Scott will be the borough’s first African-American mayor and it’s first newly-elected Mayor in 20 years.

In the election for Carlisle Borough Council, the two incumbents were returned to office but they were both outdone by Democrat Sean Schultz. Schultz led the field with 1,542 votes followed by incumbents Democrat Linda Cecconello with 1,508 votes and Republican Perry Heath with 1,385 votes.

Democratic candidate Nathan Harig and Republicans Brent Sailhamer and Henry Treffinger III all won over 1,000 votes but ultimately fell short.

Republican beats Dem incumbent for Butler City Mayor

Republican Tom Donaldson upset Democratic incumbent Maggie Stock for Mayor of Butler City.

Butler, a city of 14,000, has not had a Republican Mayor since 1985.

Donaldson was Stock’s first opponent since 2005. He is a former cop, and his campaign centered around curbing a perceived drug problem in the city.

“Businesspeople are telling me there is more crime. You’ve got to make the neighborhoods safe. The city needs a mayor who understands the police,” Donaldson told the Tribune Live.

As of 11pm, Donaldson had 65% of the vote to Stock’s 34%.

State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham won re-election tonight over Republican nominee Ron Madrid. Goreham’s margin of victory came to 62%-38% when all the votes were in, nearly identical to her total in 2009.

Madrid is a member of the Penn State faculty and a former State College Borough councilman. Goreham’s margin of victory is an indicator to what a Democrat may be able to do in the 2014 gubernatorial election.

Tully elected to Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas

Bill Tully defeated Anne Gingrich Cornick for a seat on the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas. Tully had a 56%-44% lead with all the precincts in.

Republican nominee Bill Tully is the First Assistant District Attorney in Dauphin County and also served as solicitor for the county in the past. Democratic nominee Anne Gingrich Cornick is a former chief deputy public defender for the county. Dauphin County is traditionally a Republican stronghold so Tully’s solid victory is not much of a surprise.

Despite a couple wins for Republicans on Tuesday, Democrats maintained their 10-5 majority on the City Council.

Republican Tom Baker defeated Democrat Daniel A. McClain Jr. and Constitution Party Candidate Jim Barr in District 1, with 50% of the vote.

In District 3, another Republican, Ed Kress narrowly beat out Democrat Mary E. Gibson by a 51-48 margin.

Democratic Council President Charles Martoni held on to his seat by beating Republican Dave Majernik in District 8 with 53% of the vote.

Finally in District 9, Democratic incumbent Bob Macey soundly defeated Kenneth Peoples with 65% of the vote.

There were three council seats that went uncontested. Two Republican incumbents, Krista Harris and Matt Drozd lost in the primaries.
