Democrats ride to victory in key Luzerne County races, proposed charter changes rejected

Democrats rode to victory in the race for Luzerne County Council Tuesday night, reclaiming the body's majority, while voters handed the county controller's office to another member of their party.

In a separate question, voters also rejected proposed changes to the county's home rule charter.

"I think, it's almost like a referendum, if you ask me, on what's going on nationally," said Democrat Denise Williams, who claimed the most votes in the council contest.

"The common denominator that I heard door-knocking across the board was people were very unhappy with what's happening nationally," Williams added.
