By the placement of campaign signs, you can see that Grafton Township Supervisor wanted to replace fellow office holder Jack Freund with Mike Romanelli.

He did not succeed.

Even the early voting and absentee ballots are not yet counted, it is safe to say that the incumbent road commissioner won.

Freund received 1,020 to Romanelli’s 598.

I admit to not seeing much of a campaign from Freund, but road commissioners make lots of friends by the nature of their jobs.

The Republican primary was essentially the election because the Democrats have no candidates on the ballot and no independent is running.
