However, the seats that were open prompted some heavy campaigning, specifically for the County Court Judge seat, and an unexpired seat open on the Town of Owego Board.<\/p>\n<p>For County Court, Adam Schumacher and Mari K. Townsend were on the ticket, with Schumacher revealing a lead by the end of the evening, earning a spot on the ballot in November and essentially earning the seat.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement following the election, Schumacher exclaimed, &#8220;I&#8217;m honored that the voters of Tioga County have voted me in as their new County Court Judge by way of victories in [Tuesday\u2019s] Republican and Conservative Primary Elections. It is truly humbling to have won with approximately 80% of the vote &#8211; an overwhelming margin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;With no other candidates on the ballot in November, this race is effectively over. When I take office in January, the people of Tioga County can be assured that I will serve with honor and integrity, and that every person that comes into the courtroom stands before a judge who will treat them with respect and dignity. Thank you to the people of Tioga County. I won&#8217;t let you down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gary Hellmers, who was challenged by Charles Bement for the Councilman Seat, came out ahead on Tuesday evening.
