Few races are contested in Greene

By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

After sorting through a crowded field of candidates in the May primary, Greene County voters will decide just three contested seats next Tuesday.

Two of the three come in the race for county commissioner, in which a field of 11 candidates in May was narrowed to the final four, including just one newcomer.

On the Republican side, incumbent John R. Gardner is hoping Scott Blair II can help him wrest control of the commissioners’ office from Democratic incumbents Dave Coder and Farley Toothman.

It’s the hottest race going in Greene, in part because four incumbent candidates for county row offices -- all Democrats -- were not only unopposed in May but also face no competition in November.

The winners are:

John Stets for county controller.

Robert E. Elliott for treasurer.

Thomas M. Headlee for register of wills and recorder of deeds.

Shirley Stockdale for clerk of courts.

In the race for district attorney, Glen R. Toothman knocked off Democratic incumbent David F. Pollock in the primary and is now unopposed for the seat.

The county’s only contested row office is the race for prothonotary, in which Democrat Susan Kartley White -- a winner over the incumbent, Rich Rosendale in the primary -- faces Republican Austin "Augie" Simms.
