Voters aim to remove independent Lackawanna County commissioner candidate from election ballot
Two Lackawanna County voters on Thursday challenged an independent county commissioner candidate’s right to remain on the special election ballot.
Attorney P. Timothy Kelly filed the county court challenge to candidate Ryan Runco’s nominating papers on behalf of Breeda Holmes of Dunmore and Renee Pilch of Moosic.
They want Runco removed from the Nov. 4 special election ballot for commissioner.
Runco, 42, of Olyphant, a county maintenance man, is one of four candidates in an election that will decide who serves the remaining term of former Commissioner Matt McGloin, who resigned Feb. 24. The term expires Jan. 3, 2028.
