Judge Giordano Picking Up Big Union Endorsements

Northampton County Judge Emil Giordano took a lot of heat earlier this year when he invited Democrats to a pizza party he hosted in Northampton. He made no apologies because, as both a person and judge, Emil Giordano transcends party labels. He may wear the black robe, but at Allentown's Cedar Beach, he's a basketball parent watching his 23' tall son Caden develop into an outstanding player. Other parents call him Emil, not Judge. They probably have no idea that's what he does. And he doesn't tell them.

He's a regular guy. So it's no surprise to me that he's picking up a lot of big union endorsements in his quest for one of four seats on Pennsylvania Superior Court.

According to PoliticsPA, Judge Giordano has just picked up an endorsement from the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades Council. He also has the backing of the Laborers’ District Council of Western Pennsylvania, the International Union of Operating Engineers and the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades Council #57 of Western Pennsylvania.

But will he be endorsed by the International District Council of the Western Eastern Pa Bloggers #9?

You betcha'.

    Except he's a Republican. Pay attention and maybe you can become a Democrat, too.

    No one is aware of any heat the Judge took for having democrats at his function. You are once again exaggerating to make a point.

    That's false. Complaints were made by partisan Rs.

    Who else will they vote for? Certainly they will never vote for a democrat in todays world.

    If there is a big turnout for the Philly DA race, this is going to be a tough year to run statewide as an R.

    A very good man. Maybe he can contact Fed Ed or L.C. Sheriff Joseph Hanna for their union contributors and connections. [They used the same unions and won]. Especially this past spring where "Fed Ed" took $23,500 from mostly out of town unions.

    Just came to say he has my support. Although I'm a dem all the way, Judge Gio is the real deal. He's a fair jurist and a stand-up guy.
