AMBRIDGE Two men with a long history in Ambridge are seeking the borough’s four-year mayoral seat.
Former Ambridge Councilman Gerald “Duke” McCoy is running unopposed in the Democratic primary to face business owner Dennis Lapic, a historic preservation advocate running unopposed in the Republican primary.
One candidate will fill the seat left vacant by Ambridge Mayor David Drewnowski, who is not seeking re-election after four years in office.
McCoy, of 833 15th St., served as a borough council member for 16 years before forgoing a re-election campaign in 2019.
“After 16 years, I felt council wasn’t as concerned about Ambridge as I was, so I just gave it up,” he said. “But I didn t want to see someone get in there as mayor and do nothing about our town.”
