Two first-time candidates have filed petitions to run for positions with Bristol Township government, though the ballot will mostly feature unopposed incumbents in the consolidated general election set for April 6.

Current township assessor Daniel Pickert and township trustee Clifford Oleson will not seek re-election. For the assessor seat, former deputy assessor Mary A. Maher-Bartalone will run unopposed. Ralph Pfister filed to run unopposed in the township’s open trustee seat.

The following incumbents will run unopposed in the township’s election next April:

  • Robert Walker - Township Supervisor
  • Jeffery Corneils - Township Highway Commissioner
  • Julie Bennett - Township Clerk
  • William Weatherly - Trustee
  • Corey Johnson - Trustee
  • Sharla Logan-Waclaw - Trustee

The filing period for next April’s consolidated general election closed Monday, Dec. 21.
