UNIONTOWN – Incumbent Mayor Phillip White had little trouble recapturing his seat in Uniontown on Tuesday night.

White won 60 percent of the vote, beating challenger Ralston Long 828-548.

To White, the reason for his re-election was because voters put faith in the one-term mayor.

“I really think they understood that four years is not enough time to accomplish what we need to accomplish,” White said after final results came in Tuesday.

As for his next four years, White vowed to continue his hard work.

“I’m ready to go to work,” he said.

Though challenger Long put up a good fight and spent a good deal of money advertising, White said he was able to win because voters were familiar with his experience.

“I think the citizens just knew me better,” he said. “We’re like a family.”
