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.”
Officers file sexual harassment suit against former Ambridge police chief
Two part-time police officers filed a lawsuit against the borough of Ambridge and former borough police chief James Mann on Wednesday alleging sexual harassment.
Officers Amanda Brown and Alexis Korol claim they were subjected to a sexually hostile work environment created by Mann, according to the suit.
Mann, 63, was accused of falsifying timesheets while on disability in 2017 and 2018.
Pennsylvania State Police started investigating Mann in March 2018 at the request of Ambridge Mayor David Drewnowski, who had received an anonymous letter detailing Mann’s possible theft. A jury found Mann not guilty of theft by deception and witness intimidation in October 2020.
