Election Results: Democrats Sweep Norristown School Director Race

NORRISTOWN, PA — Democrats have swept the four open seats for Norristown Area School Director, defeating the three Republicans who challenged them.

Winners include Jamila Winder, Shae Ashe, Turea Hutson, and Matt Rivera.

They defeated Republican challengers Kathleen A. T. Bello, John C. Holland, and 19-year-old John Maxey (who is actually a registered Democrat, but cross-filed). Bello received 4.8 percent, Holland 4.1 percent, and Maxey 5.08 percent.

"Thank you. Our entire team swept by a landslide," Ashe said in a statement Tuesday night.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
