Democrat Ken Musso unseated incumbent Patsy Melonakis on Tuesday, as she was elected as Adams County Assessor.
As of 10:26 p.m., Tuesday, Musso had received 52.6 percent of the vote to 47.4 percent for Melonakis.
The assessor aims to accurately assess property values and generate fair property taxes for Adams County residents, but the procedure is now computer-driven.
The race was colored by bad blood between Musso and Melonakis. Musso formerly worked in the assessor office as an employee of Melonakis’, and both accused the other of “cronyism.”
