Unofficial election results from Montgomery County show Democrats sweeping the four races for seats on Conshohocken’s borough council and Yaniv Aronson winning re-election as mayor. The political makeup of the council will go from 6-1 Democrats to Republicans to 7-0 in favor of Democrats.
The borough council will have three new members. Adrian Serna will represent Ward 2, Kathleen Kingsley will represent Ward 5, and Stacy Ellam will represent Ward 6. Anita Barton, who was the only incumbent running, will return to her seat representing Ward 4.
Note that Kingsley was very recently appointed to the council to fill an open seat after a resignation. Technically she was an incumbent but has only served two-and-a-half months.
