Democrat Brandon Neuman

•Judge of the Commonwealth Court - Vote for one

Democrat Stella Tsai

Republican Matt Wolford

•Judge of the Court of Common Pleas - Vote for one

Democrat Mark B. Stanziola

“I believe the biggest issue for people voting for the position of judge, is that given the divisive nature of today’s political climate, people need to know that should they need to go before a judge, that judge will be fair, impartial and unbiased in all respects regarding political affiliation, race, creed and/or nationality. Judges are the first line of defense against the erosion of our democracy and the Constitution, and our voters need to have faith in who they elect. I will make decisions based on facts and law, not based on politics or outside influence. Voters must have confidence that their judges work to uphold the rule of law, serve ethically and with the focus on keeping our community safe. I believe that I am the right person at the right time for this position.

Republican Patricia Fuentes Mulqueen

•Lehigh County Executive - 4-year term - Vote for one

Democrat Joshua Siegel

“The biggest issue facing voters is concern over the state of politics in our country and the way our political system approaches solving our challenges. I believe people are frustrated by a politics of constant anger, outrage and animosity and want bold leaders who are committed to advancing policies and ideas that can unify and move our area forward.

“I believe that people want to build a new politics that isn’t about left vs. right or red vs. blue but right vs. wrong.

“I’m running on One Lehigh which is about rebuilding trust and faith in government and democracy by coming together around shared principles and priorities like affordable housing, preserving open space, sustainable growth and development and standing up for everyone in our community and resisting divisive politics.

“I think this moment calls for courage from our leaders to fight back against the chaos in Washington D.C.”
