Fox Chapel and O’Hara voters won’t have a contested council race in either community during this month’s primary election, according to the Allegheny County Elections Bureau.
In O’Hara, there are two Republican candidates vying for two open seats. The terms each run four years and represent the township at-large.
• John Denny, of Woodshire Drive, was first elected to council in 2009.
• Bob Smith, of Dorseyville Road, is council president and has served 30 years.
In Fox Chapel, there are three candidates, all Republicans, competing for three seats. Each term runs four years. People running include Ann Meyer of Guyasuta Road, James Royston of Catalpa Ridge Road and Jay Troutman of Riding Trail Lane.
The primary election is May 21.
Barring a strong write-in campaign, everyone running will win their party’s nomination in May to run in the General Election in November.
