Editor’s note: In a printed notification in last week’s edition and on social media posts, The Press invited candidates to respond to the following question: What do you believe to be the No. 1 issue for your voters? The list below includes all candidates who will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot. Those who emailed responses to the question by the Oct. 19 deadline have that additional information after their name.

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY

Judge of the Superior Court (vote for one)

Democrat Brandon Neuman

Republican Maria Battista

Liberal Daniel Wassmer

Judge of Commonwealth Court (vote for one)

Democrat Stella Tsai

Republican Matt Wolford

Judge of Common Pleas Court (vote for one)

Democrat Jeremy Clark

Republican James Fuller

County executive (vote for one)

Democrat Tara Zrinski

Zrinski’s response: The top priority for Northampton County voters is building a strong, resilient community that protects essential services while planning for a sustainable future. As county executive, I will safeguard our finances, deliver transparent government and ensure fiscal responsibility with taxpayer funds and grants. With experience as county controller and former commissioner, I see this role as a steward — protecting what makes our county special and supporting those who need us most. Farmland preservation is personal: we’ve protected over 20,000 acres, keeping rural roots strong, feeding families and safeguarding an environmental asset. Investment in Gracedale — the county-owned nursing home — means better senior care, stronger staff retention and vital health services. My commitment is to responsive leadership that listens, puts people first and works every day to keep Northampton County a place we’re proud to call home.

Republican Tom Giovanni

County council-at large (vote for five)

Democrat David Holland

Democrat Theresa Fadem

Democrat Lori Vargo Heffner

Democrat Jason Boulette

Boulette’s response: I want to use my 25 years of business experience (as a vice president in the finance industry) to make sure that Northampton County remains fiscally stable over the next four years. I’ve led projects valued in the millions of dollars, I understand budgets, and I can dive into the numbers and make sure every tax dollar is being spent efficiently. My other priorities include dealing with the affordable housing crisis in the county, preserving open space and farmland, combating warehouse overdevelopment and protecting Gracedale. On council, I want to bring people together to find solutions for the problems facing our residents and I’m proud to be endorsed by both elected Democrats and Republicans because we need a council focused on cooperation and not confrontation.”

Referendum question: Shall the number of members of Council for the Borough of Chapman be reduced from seven (7) to five (5) members?

EAST ALLEN TOWNSHIP

Magisterial District 03-2-08 (East Allen Township) (vote for one)

Democrat/Republican John C. Capobianco

Supervisor (six-year term) (vote for two)

Republican Mark H. Schwartz

Republican Christopher S. Cruz

Supervisor (four-year term) (vote for one)

Democrat Louis Collins

Republican Eric Miller

Miller’s response: As a lifelong East Allen resident and current chair of the Zoning Hearing Board, I believe the No. 1 issue for our voters is feeling unheard in decisions shaping our township. Many have shared how growth, especially the surge of warehouse projects, leaves them sidelined — bringing traffic gridlock, noise and lost farmland, a fight I championed in my 2017 write-in campaign. This disconnect weakens our community. I’m running for supervisor on Nov. 4 to address that, drawing from my presidency of the Bath Allen Youth Club (2018-24) and current ZHB leadership, enhanced by training certificates in zoning, community planning, and subdivision and land development, to uplift your voice in managing growth and preserving our rural roots. I’ll push for open meetings and transparent processes to rebuild trust. Let’s make East Allen a place where every voice counts!
