As of 12:50 a.m. Wednesday, with all precincts partially reporting, unofficial results of the primary elections show Ezra Nanes leading Jim Leous by a two-to-one margin in the Democratic nomination for State College mayor. There is no Republican on the ballot for the seat. Any write-in candidates will take some time to be counted.
Among the seven cross-filed candidates running for the State College Area School District Board of Directors, it appears Peter Buck, Carline Crevecoeur, Deborah Anderson, Jackie Huff, Michelle Glenn Young, and David Hutchinson will be on the November ballot competing for four spots.
Democrats Gopal Balachandran and Divine Lipscomb are leading in the primary for the State College Borough Council. The competition for the third slot is very close between Richard Biever and Katherine Yeaple, though Biever is ahead. Jacob Werner won the Republican nomination as the sole candidate on that ballot. Write-ins could again play a role.

ordinance, which is why I am still currently wearing mine.
The CDC says if you are fully vaccinated, they recommend no longer wearing a mask indoors or outdoors unless you are in a crowded indoor setting like a bus, plane, hospital, prison, or
homeless shelter.
This means workplaces and schools can start to ease their restrictions.
According to officials, although this is big news for the country as a whole to return to normalcy as I said before mask wearing is still up to local governments.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, Tierra Williams and Rich Biever co-hosted a “politics and poetry” event at the Tudek Park in State College.
“The purpose of this event is to gather in the name of change,” Biever announced.
Both Biever and Williams are candidates in this year’s municipal elections. Williams is running for a seat on the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors and Biever is a candidate for the State College Borough Council.
They’re backed by Central Pennsylvania United, a local advocacy group trying to bring candidates with progressive platforms to local office. The organization partners with Pennsylvania United, a PAC based in Pittsburgh.
