2017
Five seats on the North Penn School District school board were up for general election on November 7, 2017. Four seats were up for regular election and one seat was up for special election for a two-year term, due to the death of former board member Carolyn Murphy. A partisan primary election for all five seats was held on May 16, 2017.
A total of eight candidates ran in the general election for the regular terms after all of them advanced from the primary. Four newcomer Democrats won the spots on the board: Christian Fusco, Jonathan Kassa, Tina Stoll, and Mark Warren. Board incumbents Josephine Charnock, Patrick McGee Jr., and Frank O'Donnell cross-filed to run for re-election for both the Democratic and Republican parties in the primary election. They were joined on the ballot by newcomers Fusco, Kassa, Thomas Mancini, Stoll, and Warren, who all cross-filed to run in the primary election. Stoll, Fusco, Warren, and Kassa took the Democratic nominations for the four-year terms, and O'Donnell, Mancini, McGee, and Charnock took the Republican nominations.
In the special election for the two-year term, Jenna Ott defeated Michelle Rupp in the general. Ott won the Democratic nomination and Rupp won the Republican nomination in the primary.[1]
These candidates could have faced independent candidates in the general election. However, no independent candidate filed by the August 1, 2017, deadline to get on the ballot.[2]
McGee Jr., Mancini, O'Donnell, Charnock, and Rupp ran as part of a candidate slate.[3]
