CANTON -- Village trustee Mary Ann Ashley, a Republican running on the Democratic line, has unseated Republican Mayor David Curry in a landslide, 628-289.
That means Curry, who owns and operates Dave’s II bar downtown and is finishing up his first two-year term as mayor, will no longer serve the village board after more than two decades. For 19 years before being elected mayor, he served as a village trustee.
Ashley is a school counselor with three years’ experience as a village trustee and six years on the Canton school board.
She ran on the Democratic ballot after unsuccessfully seeking her party’s nomination for mayor in the village GOP caucus and has pledged to return her mayor’s salary to the village.
In the village trustee race, Democrat Carol Pynchon, with 519 votes, and Republican Michael E. Dalton, with 469, appear to have won a four-way race.
But the results are unofficial and do not include absentee ballots, so it is possible Brooke James Rouse, with 445 votes, could win. Republican Nick Kocher came in fourth, with 326.
