DANVILLE — Democrats voting in the spring primary in Montour County will only have one choice for commissioner. Incumbent Trevor Finn is the only Democrat seeking office, now that Fred Shepperson, the former Montour County Sheriff, announced he is withdrawing from the race.
Shepperson tells the Danville News that he simply doesn’t need the stress at his age. The soon-to-be 76-year-old submitted a letter of withdraw to the county on Monday. Shepperson says some recent health concerns also prompted his decision to pull out.
