Election Wrap-Up: Cerny, Wenz, Miller Elected To Village Board


The 2018 general election has come and gone.  

Now that the dust has settled, it is clear that change is coming to the Dorchester Village Board.

The village board had three of its five seats up for election, as two current board members, LJ Barley and Todd Jensen, chose not to run for re-election. Incumbent Dean Pracheil, a longtime board member, did run again but fell short in his bid to get re-elected.

Beginning in January 2019, new Dorchester Village board members will be Thomas Cerny, Roger Miller and Sarah Wenz.

Cerny has served on the village board before.  Miller and Wenz are newcomers.

Here are the village board results from yesterday:



There is no word yet on what will happen to the seat of village board chairman Matthew Hoffman, who last month plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of sexual assault.  Some observers have speculated that Hoffman will resign once he is sentenced Nov. 20.  (Hoffman would not be up for re-election until 2020.)  

Meanwhile, there will be no changes coming to the local school board.  The Dorchester Public School Board had three open seats, and all three current board members whose seats were up -- Steve Vyhnalek, Carol Schnell and Matt Hansen -- sought re-election.  No challengers filed to run for the school board this year.

Here are Tuesday's election results for school board:
