Incumbent and newcomer run unopposed

Maria Zhynovitch was elected to a second term on the Nelsonville Village Board and Travis Biro to his first during voting on Tuesday (March 21).

Biro received 45 votes and Zhynovitch received 44, representing a turnout of 9.7 percent of registered voters. Alan Potts and Michael Jones each received a write-in vote.

The other members of the board are Mayor Chris Winward and Trustees Thomas Campanile and David Moroney, whose seats will be on the ballot next year.
