According to unofficial results in Tuesday's primary election, it appears voters will not see longtime incumbent Ed Earley's name on the November ballot for Upper Macungie Township supervisor.

Challenged by fellow Republican James Brunell in Tuesday's primary election, Earley garnered an unofficial 269 votes, according to Lehigh County Voter Registration numbers.

Brunell received an unofficial 427 votes.

Earley was appointed in 2002 to fill the unexpired term of Von George. He was elected in 2004 to a four-year term and, in 2008,was elected to a full six-year term.

In November, Brunell will face Christopher Casey, who garnered an unofficial 200 votes.

Brunell's wife told The Press the morning after the election that her husband was out of the country and could be reached for comment.

During the campaign, Brunell said he was not happy with the way the township was being run.

He said the township should have a plan for the future, cut spending and build up a reserve fund.

Brunell said he is concerned about the under-funded police pension resulting from the breakup of the Berks Lehigh Regional Police and the funding for the new police department.

He says whenever the township needs more money, it raises taxes."

Brunell lives with his wife, Dawn, and daughters, Ally and Mackenzie, in the Heatherfield development. He moved into the township in 2000.

A graduate of Southern Lehigh School and Penn State, he is general manager of Optimum Controls Corporation, Reading.
