Mount Morris will have a new mayor, and new trustees will take office on the village boards of Dansville and Lima following village elections on Tuesday.
Former Mount Morris Mayor Joel Mike will be returning to the office after he was decisively elected by voters in village elections on Tuesday. Mike received nearly three-quarters of the ballots cast in the mayorâs race.
In Dansville, former police chief Charlie Perkins outpolled two incumbents to receive one of two seats on the village board, based on unofficial results from the Livingston County Board of Elections.
And in Lima, two incumbent village board members were voted out by Brian Smith and Carolyn Fleming.
The top elected office in the village of Mount Morris is up for election on Tuesday. Incumbent Mayor Frank M. Provo is seeking reelection on the Mount Morris First party line. Heâs going up against former mayor and current village trustee Joel Mike, whoâs running as a Republican.
William Manthey and Timothy D. Bryant are running unopposed for village trustee positions. Both have been cross-endorsed by Democrats and Republicans.
For Manthey, his candidacy is all about doing what is best for the residents of Mount Morris.
âThe change in the community is my biggest concern and I want to make sure it is a safe community,â said Manthey, who holds a marketing degree in business from Saint Bonaventure University.
