SAXONBURG — Women ruled in the race for borough council in Tuesday’s election.

According to unofficial results, Carol Neubert, Sherry Weinzierl and Patricia Rinebolt finished first, second and third, respectively, with each winning one of three available four-year seats.

David Felsing finished fourth and lost out on claiming one of the four-year seats.

However, Felsing actively ran a write-in campaign for the lone two-year seat that was on the ballot. No candidates were listed on the ballot for the two-year post.

There were 19 recorded write-in votes but those results were not immediately known.

The unofficial tallies showed Neubert received 212 votes, or 29 percent of all ballots cast. Weinzierl garnered 196 votes, or 27 percent of the ballots.

The two top vote-getters won the Republican nominations in the May primary.

Rinebolt received 182 votes, or 25 percent of the ballots cast Tuesday. Felsing earned 133 votes, or 18 percent of all ballots.

“It feels good,” Rinebolt said after learning she had won yet another term on council. She has served on the board for 25 years.

“I’m not tired of it yet,” she said, “but this could be my last term.”

A retired school teacher, Rinebolt, 74, credited her longevity to constituent service and to her love of public service.

“When people have problems, they know I try to solve them,” she said.

Rinebolt, who retired as an elementary teacher from Holy Sepulcher School in 2003, following 22 years of service there, currently serves as council’s vice president

Neubert, 73, council president, won her third term. She is the former co-owner of C&S Hardware, which closed in August 2014.

Weinzierl, 47, who owns The Smoke Shoppe on Pittsburgh Street, was appointed to council in July 2014 to fill the seat vacated by Don Crawford, who resigned due to work commitments.

Crawford’s unexpired term created the two-year seat on the ballot. The seat will return to its four-year term cycle with the May 2017 municipal election.

Felsing, who operates a fire extinguisher sales and service business, was appointed in January 2014 to fill the two-year seat vacated by Pam Bauman, who was elected mayor in November later that year.

Previously, he lost his re-election bid for council in November 2013.

Although Felsing did not capture one of the three four-year seats, he could remain on council when the new year begins, pending the tally of write-in vote for the two-year seat.

Neubert, Weinzierl and Felsing could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
