Northampton County Judicial Candidates at a Glance

Last week's Pen Argyl Area Concerned Citizens candidates' night featured three of the four people running for three judicial vacancies next year. Craig Dally was unable to attend, but can hardly be blamed because he was helping resolve the state budget impasse in Harrisburg. Ann Dally stood in for her husband.

I've uploaded videos of the opening remarks of the three candidates who appeared, and will try to get Craig before election day.

Barb Hollenbach. In two minutes, Barb displays both self-effacing humor and a down-to-earth charm, characteristics one never expects to see in a prominent civil defense lawyer. She also remained the entire evening, watching candidates for other offices.

Len Zito. On familiar home ground, Len spent just a minute talking about himself and almost seemed embarrassed.

Michael Koury. Talked about himself, his father, his education and the "excellent" work his Wall Street law firm demanded. No embarrassment. No down-to-earth charm.

    He did nothing to help the budget process. He skipped the debate because it is his home turf.

    I'm curious. You once wrote all of the judicial candidates are qualified to be judge so the voters could not make a mistake no matter who was elected, or words to that effect.

    Do you feel differently at all?

    Anon 7:25, I have my personal preferences, but all candidates are qualified.

    You obviously needed to go to bed rather than post such a ridiculous comment because clearly you don't know Dally. Your comment is so far from the truth it doesn't even warrant this short response.

    Dally's parting shot before skipping of to the next pension trough was to raise taxes and fees after finding only 1% to cut from a bloated state budget. Craig doesn't deserve another taxpayer-funded job. Sorry.

    Come on give the guy another taxpayer funded pension. He is otherwise unemployable.

    These are precisely the kinds of cowardly anonymous attacks that turn people off. Dally will win, and you'll still be a pathetic anonymous coward.

    I think Barbara Hollenbach, or her relatives/friends, should stop commenting on this blog and harassing Bernie... And obviously you're the one who doesn't know Dally. At all.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
