Across Lancaster County’s 18 boroughs with mayoral spots up for election this year, New Holland is the only one that will have a contested primary.

Republicans Timothy Bender, 51, and Bryant J. Glick, 27, are competing for their party’s nomination to fill the role that four-term Mayor Wilbur Horning will retire from at the end of the year.

No Democrats have registered for the mayoral race, so the winner may proceed as the only official candidate on the ballot in November.

Glick is general manager at Lancaster Parts & Equipment Inc. Bender is vice president of Buchanan Capital LLC and Hamilton Bancorp Inc., which he runs with former state Rep. Gordon Denlinger.

Both men’s resumes include volunteer experience.

Bender held treasurer and other posts for the Spanish American Civic Association Development Corp., Elanco Republicans and Elanco Social Services Network. Glick has been active in the Republican Committee of Lancaster County and reported volunteering his time to U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker’s successful bid for the 16th Congressional District, as well as state Rep. David Zimmerman’s re-election in the 99th Legislative District.

The local Republican committee has not issued an endorsement in the race.

In borough council races, only three are contested in the primary. No endorsements have been issued in those races either. They are as follows.
