INTRODUCED IT. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 430 ON THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING. A LOT OF ELECTION RESULTS TO GET TO. BUT FIRST, LET’S GET TO THE WEATHER. I’M MATT BARCARO. I’M KATELYN SMITH. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA HAS THAT FOR US. AND WE HAVE SOME RAIN OUT AND ABOUT THIS MORNING. RIGHT ON TIME. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE THIS MORNING ON OUR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. IT’S THAT BLUE COMING IN. SO LIGHT BLUE INDICATES LIGHT RAIN. AND WE’RE SEEING IT MOVE FROM SOUTHWEST OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. SO THIS IS WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR YOU FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. COULD BE A BIT SOGGY AT TIMES TODAY, BUT I ALSO SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE RAIN. WHAT I DON’T SEE IS WARM TEMPERATURES. WE’RE GOING TO BE IN THE 50S ALL DAY LONG. RIGHT NOW, ALMOST EVERYBODY IS IN THE 50S AND WE WILL STAY THERE FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. SO LOOK AT THE LITTLE VARIATION IN OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. JUST KIND OF HOLDING STEADY THERE IN THE MID 50S FOR MOST OF THE DAY. WE’LL SEE SOME PERIODS OF RAIN. I DON’T THINK ANYTHING TOO TERRIBLY HEAVY, ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME POPS OF MODERATE RAIN IN THERE LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. WE’LL TALK ABOUT WHEN TEMPERATURES WARM BACK UP TO THE 70S COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST. THANKS, CHRISTINE. LET’S GET TO THOSE RESULTS THAT ARE IN FOR PRIMARY ELECTIONS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. FROM THE MAYORAL RACES IN HARRISBURG, LANCASTER AND LEBANON TO SCHOOL BOARD RACES IN CUMBERLAND AND YORK COUNTIES. LET’S START IN HARRISBURG. INCUMBENT MAYOR WANDA WILLIAMS ONE STEP CLOSER TO SECURING A SECOND TERM IN OFFICE. SHE WAS DECLARED THE WINNER IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION LATE LAST NIGHT. THE WINNER. AND THERE IS THE REACTION FROM HER WATCH PARTY LAST NIGHT AS WILLIAMS AND HER SUPPORTERS LEARNED SHE’D BEATEN OUT FOUR OTHER CANDIDATES IN THAT CLOSE RACE. YOU SAW MCKENNA ALEXANDER THERE AS WELL. THE VICTORY CAME DOWN TO JUST 83 VOTES BETWEEN WILLIAMS AND THE CITY’S CURRENT TREASURER, DAN MILLER, WHO WILLIAMS SAYS WAS UNFIT TO LEAD THE CITY. DAN MILLER WAS SAYING THINGS THAT WERE UNTRUE. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS FACTUAL. I DON’T HAVE TO LIE. I HAD THE FACTS. I HAD THE DOCUMENTS. BUT, YOU KNOW, IF DAN WANTS TO WORK WITH ME, FINE. DAN SHOULD HAVE WORKED WITH ME BEFORE. HE NEVER DID. SO, DAN, I I’M OPEN THE DOORS IF YOU WANT TO WORK. SHE THE ONE. OKAY. AND DAN MILLER, THE CITY TREASURER, DID COME IN SECOND PLACE IN THAT PRIMARY. MILLER CAN RUN AGAIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER AS A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. NEWS 8 ASKED HIM IF HE WAS CONSIDERING THAT. HERE’S HERE’S WHAT HE SAID. WINNING ON THE REPUBLICAN AS A REPUBLICAN WRITE IN IS GREAT. IF YOU’VE WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, IF YOU HAVEN’T WON THAT, YOU KNOW THAT’S A WHOLE DIFFERENT CHALLENGE. AND I’M NOT REALLY THINKING THAT MUCH ABOUT IT. HE COULD WIN RUN AS A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE HE WON THE REPUBLICAN WRITE IN VOTES, 175 VOTERS IN THE CITY VOTED FOR HIM. WELL, LANCASTER LIKELY HAS A NEW MAYOR IN DEMOCRAT JAMIE ARROYO. HE WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RACE OVER JANET DIAZ TO REPLACE MAYOR DENEEN CERACCHI. NOW, THERE WERE NO REPUBLICANS RUNNING IN THIS RACE. ABOUT 100 PEOPLE DID CELEBRATE ARROYO’S WIN IN THE PRIMARY FOR AT HIS WATCH PARTY, BOTH CANDIDATES, ARROYO AND JANET DIAZ, ALREADY DO SERVE ON CITY COUNCIL. ARROYO IS ALSO THE CEO OF ASSETS. THAT’S A NONPROFIT THAT HELPS START SMALL BUSINESSES. HE TOOK MORE THAN 80% OF THE VOTE, AND HE TALKED ABOUT HOW HE THINKS HE DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF FROM DIAZ DURING THE CAMPAIGN. I TRIED TO INSPIRE PEOPLE THROUGH HOPE, AND I THINK IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO SEE WHERE CAN LANCASTER CITY GO? AND AS I MENTIONED IN MY VICTORY SPEECH, IS THAT WE’RE NOT DONE YET. I THINK LANCASTER CITY HAS SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL, AND PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR THAT. THEY WANT TO HEAR THAT HERE IN LANCASTER CITY, THAT THE BEST IS IN FRONT OF US TO LEBANON. NOW, WHERE CURRENT MAYOR SHERRY CAPELLO WILL NOW HAVE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION AND MOVE FORWARD TO NOVEMBER’S ELECTION AT HER WATCH PARTY, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND VOTERS IN LEBANON HAD LOTS OF TIME TO CELEBRATE, WITH CAPELLO HOLDING A COMFORTABLE LEAD ALL NIGHT LONG. SHE SPOKE ABOUT WHAT SHE THINKS IS MAKING HER ADMINISTRATION CONNECT WITH VOTERS. SO I’M VERY EXCITED, OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE, MY TEAM AND I WORKED VERY HARD GOING DOOR TO DOOR. WE’RE JUST GOING TO KEEP CONTINUING THAT MOMENTUM FORWARD AND WORK REALLY HARD FOR THE FALL ELECTION AGAINST MY MY DEMOCRAT OPPONENT AND YEAH, AND AS FOR THAT DEMOCRAT OPPONENT, CAPELLO WILL FACE CESAR LIRIANO IN THE FALL. I JUST WANT TO SAY INCUMBENT LEBANON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY PIER HESS GRAF WON YESTERDAY’S PRIMARY AGAINST REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER MICHAEL LIGHT, WINNING A SECOND TERM. SHE GOT 70% OF THE VOTE, JUST UNDER 9000 VOTES. IN ALL, THERE WERE NO DEMOCRATS IN THAT RACE. WHILE WE WERE HOPING TO HEAR FROM THE LEBANON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, PIER HESS GRAF, SHE DID THANK ALL OF HER SUPPORTERS DURING THIS ELECTION. AND SHE SAYS HER NEXT STEP FOLLOWING HER VICTORY IS GETTING READY FOR A HOMICIDE TRIAL THAT STARTS JUNE 9TH. STAYING IN LEBANON COUNTY, THE COUNTY ELECTIONS TEAM SAYS TURNOUT THERE WAS LOW. WE CHECKED WITH THE ELECTION LEADERS THERE AS THEY WERE PROCESSING VOTES YESTERDAY, AND THAT’S REALLY A SHAME BECAUSE THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT JOBS ON THE BALLOT. SCHOOL BOARD AND THINGS THAT AFFECT PEOPLE’S FAMILIES RIGHT, IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. SO I’M SAD TO HEAR THAT THAT’S OUR TURNOUT. BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GET SORT OF A PRESIDENTIAL HANGOVER. MOVING OVER TO YORK. IT WAS DEMOCRAT SANDY WALKER AS THE LONE CANDIDATE IN THAT RACE TO REPLACE MAYOR MICHAEL HELFRICH, WHO IS NOT SEEKING REELECTION. THERE ARE NO REPUBLICANS IN THAT RACE. IN THE RACE FOR YORK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, THE INCUMBENT, TIM BARKER, IS THE PROJECTED WINNER IN THAT RACE, WINNING 66% OF THE VOTE OVER HIS CHALLENGER, JACK GRAYBILL. THERE ARE NO DEMOCRATS IN THAT RACE. IN GETTYSBURG, MAYOR RITA FREEHLING HAS LOST HER BID FOR REELECTION AS CHAD ALAN CARR WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY WITH 53% OF THAT VOTE. THERE ARE NO REPUBLICANS IN THAT RACE. WE’RE ALSO FOLLOWING SEVERAL CITY COUNCIL RACES IN HARRISBURG. DEMOCRATS JOCELYN RAWLS, ROBERT LAWSON, ASHER GREEN, AND RALPH RODRIGUEZ WON SEATS IN LANCASTER. DEMOCRAT AHMED AHMED, WHO IS AN INCUMBENT, WON ALONGSIDE MARSHALL MILLER. AMOS STOLTZFUS AND NANCY MILAN. AND IN LEBANON, REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT KERRY HATOS AND ANGELINA MARCO EARNED THE MOST VOTES TO WIN THE NOMINATIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL. THERE ALSO WERE TWO STATEWIDE RACES ON THE BALLOT YESTERDAY FOR SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE. REPUBLICANS ELECTED MARIA BATTISTA TO REPRESENT THEM. SHE BEAT ANNE MARIE WHEATCROFT AND SHE WILL FACE DEMOCRAT BRANDON NEWMAN IN THE FALL AND IN THE RACE FOR COMMONWEALTH COURT JUDGE, REPUBLICANS CHOSE BETWEEN MATT WOLFORD AND JOSH PRINCE. AND YOU SEE, WITH 97% OF THE PRECINCTS REPORTING HERE THAT WOLFORD SECURED 62% OF THE VOTE, MAKING HIM THE WINNER THERE. WOLFORD IS NOW SET TO FACE DEMOCRAT STELLA TSAI IN THE FALL. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PENNSYLVANIA CONGRATULATED BOTH JUDGE BATTISTA AND WOLFORD. GREG ROTHMAN SAYS THE PARTY IS STRONGER BECAUSE OF COMPETITION AN
