Two Republicans and two Democrats claimed the four-year terms up for grabs on the Mars Area School Board in the general election on Tuesday, while a Republican took the only available two-year term.

Republican Justin Miller won reelection, while Republican Madelynn Marburger Barkley will serve her first term on the board. Democrats Joseph Joswiak and Mike Bordt will also serve their first terms on the board.

Miller won reelection after receiving 3,823 votes, or 13.63% of the vote, while Marburger Barkley claimed 4,226 votes, or 15% of the vote. Bordt collected the most support with 4,692 votes, or 16.7% of the vote, and Joswiak followed in second place with 4,569 votes, or 16.3% of the vote, according to unofficial election results reported in Butler County Bureau of Elections summary reports.

They beat out Democratic candidate Robert Vigue with 3,178 votes and Republican candidates Matthew Duff with 3,803 votes and Amanda Salkeld with 3,732 votes.

Meanwhile, in the battle for a two-year term, Republican incumbent Jennifer DiCuccio garnered 4,782 votes, or 58% of the vote, to defeat Vigue and win reelection.

Miller is a Middlesex Township resident who has lived in the community for 22 years and owns an excavating business he’s operated for nearly two decades. He’s serving his fourth year on the board and also represents the district on the Butler County Vocational-Technical School Joint Operating Committee.

Bordt, a lifelong Mars resident and Adams Township police officer, is a parent of two children in the district — one currently enrolled and another soon to start kindergarten. He said in the lead-up to the election he hopes to ensure Mars schools continue to provide a secure and supportive environment where every student can succeed.

DiCuccio, a U.S. military veteran who grew up in Ohio, lives in Adams Township and works full time as a technical systems consultant. Her background includes serving on nonprofit boards and leading a local humane society as executive director.
