Troche and Jones, both Republicans, received 442 and 423 votes, respectively, to be elected.

Troche said being elected is “quite humbling,” and he appreciates that village of Lakewood voters “trusted and believed” in him to take on the issues facing Lakewood, as well as the future of the village itself.

“I look forward to working hard to make sure this trust is kept,” he said. “My vision is simple, but the challenges are complex. A few goals I have is to make sure our village departments have the resouces needed to provide our residents with the services they deserve. I also want to continue our rrent board’s priority of making sure our village buildings are properly maintained for the future. Finally, I want to help make our village more of a destination for commerce, specifically working with the great business owners of Chautauqua Avenue and Fairmount Avenue.”
