Winner in the November election the 26th mayor of York, Pa.

Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Marshall is seen on primary day Tuesday. The 91-year-old was the first elected female mayor of York. She served one, four-year term starting in 1978.

OK, the York mayoral lineup for the fall, at least of this date, will be a faceoff between:

Kim Bracey – Democrat (Bracey gained her party’s nod in Tuesday’s primary.)
Wendell Banks – Republican
Joe Musso – Independent
Matthew Mann – Independent
One of these candidates will become York’s 26th mayor (some have served more than one non-contiguous terms). (Post-election update: Kim Bracey won easily to become York’s 26 mayor.) :
