East Huntingdon supervisors win reelection
Republican incumbents Jeff Keefer and Justin Morrow won landslide victories Tuesday for seats on the three-member East Huntingdon board of supervisors.
Keefer, 55, defeated Democratic challenger Wayne Godfrey, 65, a retired truck driver, to win his first four-year term in office. Keefer was appointed to the board in June 2024 following the death of Supervisor Joel Suter.
With all precincts reporting, Keefer received about 75% of the vote. Godfrey received 24%.
Morrow, 54, won his third, six-year term on the board in a separate race against Godfrey.
Morrow received 72% to Godfrey’s nearly 27%.
Supervisors can opt to work as full-time township employees and, in addition to the administrative duties, they serve as heads of the public work crews. They earn annual salaries of $75,712.
All results are unofficial until certified by the county’s elections board.
