4 candidates running for Zelienople council seats
Four Republican candidates are facing off in a race for three seats on Zelienople borough council in the May 16 primary election.
Returning to the ballot is council President Mary Hess, a Zelienople native who has been on council since 2009. She is running for reelection, while two other borough council members — Marietta Reeb and Ralph Geis — won’t be seeking another term.
Reeb, who headed the public safety committee, and Geis, who had led the finance committee and electric committee, are retiring, according to Hess.
Three new candidates running for council are Dan Fritch, Stephen Schoppe and Mary Kaye Soriano, who could not be reached for comment.
The three who receive the most votes will proceed to the November ballot. No Democratic candidates are running for the seats.
