In State College, Mayor Elizabeth Goreham did not seek re-election.
So the mayoral race was between two Democrats and an Independent.
Democrat Don Hahn has won the race over Michael Black and Ron Madrid.
Hahn was a longtime Borough Councilman starting in 1996. He was the Borough President between 2012 and 2014.
He says his experience with the local government puts him ahead of the game.
As mayor, Hahn says he’s looking forward to bridging the gap between community members and Penn State students.
Right now the council meets with University leaders, but Hahn says he’d like to implement a relationship with student leaders as well.
