ANGOLA — The fruits of campaigning have come to a close as voters made their decisions in yesterday’s municipal primary elections in Steuben County.

In Angola, at the top of the ticket was the Republican nomination for Angola mayor where Colleen Everage challenged veteran Councilman Dave Martin. Martin is the winner in a 626-234 vote.

Sue Essman, who currently serves as human resources director for Angola, intends to file for the Democratic nomination.

A Democrat has held the mayor’s seat in Angola for the past 32 years.

The race to replace Angola Councilman Gary Crum in District A has Randy Coffey as the winner over June Julien running for the Republican nomination. Nick Sutton is running on the Democratic ticket.

Running for the District C Republican nomination was Leslie Schlottman and Jennifer Sharkey. Sharkey was the winner of that race.

In Fremont, voters decided three seats on the Fremont Town Council, where five Republicans ran for the three nominations available. Three incumbents on the Town Council, Steve Brown, Linda Fulton and Bill Stitt ran. They had two challengers: Scott Glendening and Rick Towers. Incumbents Linda Fulton and Bill Stitt were among the top three, along with newcomer Scott Glendening.

Fremont Community Schools voters who were against the referendum won with 510 saying “no”, and 433 “yes” votes. This means the current operating referendum will not be renewed. It originally passed in 2015.
