Who's Running in NorCo?

Nomination petitions of candidates seeking municipal office in Northampton County are in, and that means petition challenges are being pondered. But if things stay the way they are now, this is what you can expect. 

Judge (Common Pleas) - DA John Morganelli is cross-filed and running unopposed. 

District Attorney - First Deputy DA Terry Houck and Chief Public Defender Nuria DiLuzio seek the Democratic nomination, while Tom Carroll is running unopposed for the GOP nod.  There had been some speculation that Judge Leonard Zito might run, but he filed no nomination petition.  

Controller- Easton Controller Tony Bassil is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination, while former County Council member Hayden Phillips has no opposition in his quest to be the Republican nominee.

County Council District One (Bethlehem) - Carpenter Kevin Lott, who was appointed to Council late last year, is running unopposed. He is a Democrat.

County Council District Two (Easton area) - Sandy O'Brien-Werner, a retired teacher and wife of incumbent Bob Werner, seeks the Democratic nomination. So does former Easton Area School Board Prez Kerry Myers. On the Republican side, 19 yo gun rights activist Andrew Oliveira is running unopposed. 

County Council District Three (Nazareth area) - Incumbent John Cusick is running unopposed for the GOP nomination. Gun control advocate Luke Verdes is running as a Democrat. 

County Council District Four (Slate Belt) - Boilermaker Dan Engle is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination, while former Nazareth business owner Tom Giovanni has no opposition on the Republican side.

According to Lehigh Valley Live, nobody is running and there is no county government. The good news is that they're finally printing box scores from last year's World Series.

How come Lehigh County Elections Office can update their candidate list pretty much in real time on Tuesday and Northampton County Elections office waited until late yesterday to post anything?

9:05, It's a time zone thing. Lehigh is on local Daylight Saving Time. Northampton is in the 1800s.

Is Zirinski running? I want to learn more about her court issues. If she was guilty why did Morganelli not press charges? Since she is telling everyone she is their salvation people need to know what the scoop is regarding her court appearances.

annon8:15, she apparently lied under oath in a custody case for one of her baby daddies. She was with a boyfriend with the kid in another room as per Bernie's account. Now she leads McClure and the other local socialist democrats in county government. Her rerecord will follow her in her state house run against Marcia Hahn.
