LORDSTOWN — Next year will see some returning faces and some new members on village council.

Seven candidates had sought to fill four seats.

Unofficial and incomplete results in Tuesday’s general election had Ron Radtka as top vote getter with 17.4%, Robert Bond with 17.1%, Jamie Moseley with 15% and Mark McGrail with 13.9%.

Also running were incumbent Ernest Bowen with 13.7%, Jiryes Rafidi with 12% and incumbent Howard Sheely with 11%.

Radtka had served on council for 12 years after first being elected in 2011, and will return to council. He said he wants the village to move into the 21st century with online and credit card services available for people to pay water, sewer, garbage and utility bills along with cash or check options.

He said this will make bill payments more convenient for residents and cost effective for the village.

Bond has served on council for 16 years, including a role as council president and having served on all council committees. He said he wants its meetings broadcast online and noted he worked to get the meeting agendas and minutes on the village’s website.

Bond said he will look at attracting and assisting new business to the community. He said it is important the village be fiscally responsible with all financial decisions.

Moseley, appointed to council in January 2023, said it is important for officials to work at maintaining its current infrastructure.

Moseley said while he supports businesses and residential growth he wants the community to remain a village, which the residents also want.

McGrail, who previously served 12 years on the village board of education, said he is familiar with serving the community and wants to improve communication and transparency with the public.

He said he will get the council meetings and other village meetings recorded for public viewing on social media so residents can have 24-7 access to past meetings.
