Write-in results conclude primaries for Honesdale, Hawley

Posted

WAYNE and PIKE COUNTIES, PA — Several of the general election slates for Wayne and Pike Counties have firmed up, as write-in results have been released in May's primary races. 

Scott Mead took the majority of write-in votes for Hawley Borough Mayor, winning both the Democratic and the Republican primaries. He takes this primary election over the current incumbent mayor, John Nichols, who received only a handful of write-in votes. 

In Honesdale, current councilmember Jim Hamill took the Democratic line for borough mayor in the primary race, with 150 of the votes cast; Hamill was the only candidate on the ballot for mayor in the primary election. Current mayor Derek Williams received 101 write-in votes for the Democratic line. 

Williams took the Republican primary for borough mayor with 76 write-in votes; that primary did not have a candidate on the ballot. 

Write-in candidates rounded out the slates for the Honesdale Borough Council race as well. 

In addition to Jim Hamill, who was the sole candidate on the ballot for the Democratic primary, voters chose William McAllister, Joe Mele and Derek Williams as write-in candidates. 

McAllister, a current councilor, also received write-in votes for the Republican council primary, and will join Kim Fisch, Jason Newbon and Jamie Cordaro on the Republican ballot.
