Carbon County’s Republican county candidates gave a nod to each of its county officials that ran unopposed in Tuesday’s general election.
In addition to electing two of the three commissioners, voters cast votes in the district attorney, prothonotary, sheriff and recorder of deeds, which all had uncontested races.
Republican Donna Gentile received 11,751 votes to secure a second term as the county recorder of deeds.
District Attorney Michael Greek, who won on both the Democrat and Republican tickets in the primary, received 12,430 votes. This will be his second term.
Republican Kayla Semmel won a second term as the prothonotary with 11,574 votes.
Sheriff Daniel Zeigler, who won both tickets in May, received 12,407 votes to secure his first full term after being appointed to serve in this position following the retirement of Anthony Harvilla.
County voters also cast ballots in races for Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge of Superior Court and Judge of Commonwealth Court, leaning toward the Republican candidates in all races.
In the Supreme Court race, Carbon County chose Carolyn Carluccio, a Republican, over Daniel McCaffery, a Democrat, 8,759 to 5,563.
