Elections took place Tuesday, Nov. 7, for local offices in Greene County.
The election that garnered the most attention was the race for County Coroner.
At the time of publication, the unofficial results had Democratic candidate Gregory Rohanna leading over Republican candidate Gene Rush by just one vote.
Just hours before, Rush had been in the lead by eight votes; but after the inclusion of absentee ballots, Rohanna took the lead. Officials are still waiting to make the final call.
In the last five elections, Rohanna has run unopposed. The coroner is tasked with investigating unexpected deaths in the county.
The results are still unofficial, and it is unclear whether Rush will ask for a recount.
In the race for Greene County Sheriff, Democratic candidate Brian Tennant won against Republican Ed Debolt by a sizeable margin.
Tennant won by more than 2,000 votes, capturing 68.9 percent of the votes to Debolt’s 31 percent.
This is Tennant’s second term as Sherriff and his first term running against another candidate.
In 2013, Tennant ran unopposed to replace the retiring Sheriff Richard Ketchem.
In the race for mayor of Waynesburg Borough, Democratic candidate Brian Tanner ran unopposed, achieving 98.1 percent of the vote.
Tanner is replacing Duncan Berryman, who in 2013 also ran unopposed with similar results. Berryman served as mayor for four years and replaced Democrat Blair Zimmerman Jr., who is currently serving as Greene County Commissioner.
