Canton Township Supervisor Vote: Incumbent Wins Big!
Hey there, Canton Township residents! Exciting things are happening in your local government. In a hotly contested race for township supervisor, incumbent Anne Marie Graham-Hudak celebrated a resounding victory over her challenger, Pat Williams. With the unofficial results rolling in, it looks like Graham-Hudak, a proud Democrat, snagged a hefty 57% of the votes, while Williams, a Republican, finished with 42% of the total cast.
A Race to Remember
This race was more than just numbers: it was a showdown with plenty of history. Pat Williams previously held the position of township supervisor from 2016 to 2020 before being unseated by Graham-Hudak. Fast forward to today, and it looks like the voters have decided to give Graham-Hudak another shot at the role. Buckle up, folks, because she will be back in action for another four years!
Democrats Steal the Show!
But wait, there’s more news from the ballot! In the race for trustee positions, the Democratic party continued to shine brightly. Incumbent trustees Kate Borninski, Sommer Foster, and Tania Ganguly all successfully fended off challenges from their Republican opponents. Borninski received 14.81%, Foster gained 14.34%, and Ganguly wrapped it up with 14.31% of the votes. Meanwhile, the newcomer, Ammara Ansari, made quite the impression with 14.78% of the total vote.
It’s great news for local politics: each of these candidates will have the chance to serve for four years on the township board, bringing their expertise and community passion to the table.
Challengers and Other Candidates
On the other side of the political fence, Republican challengers John Anthony, Tyler Grable, Jeff Graunke, and Marko Kozina put up a valiant fight but came up short in this election. There was also an Independent candidate, Tammy Haggerty, who tried her hand, but the wave of support for the Democratic candidates was just too strong.
Unopposed Wins for Clerk and Treasurer
Meanwhile, in unopposed elections, Township Clerk Michael Siegrist and Treasurer Dian Slavens, both Democrats, were elected to serve an additional four-year term. No competition means no drama in that department; just smooth sailing as they continue their important duties!
