Paramedic, Public Health Professional Seeks Seat on NorCo Council

Northampton County Council includes five at-large positions. All are up for election this year. Incumbent Democrats Ron Heckman, Lori Vargo-Heffner, Bill McGee and Tara Zrinski are all expected to seek re-election. Incumbent Republican Peg Ferraro, however, is retiring from a lifetime of politics at the end of her term this year.

Annmaie T Robertone would like one of those five seats.

A resident of Pen Argyl, Robertone is a graduate of Pius X High School. She has both a B.S. and Master's in Public Health from East Stroudsburg University.

A certified paramedic, she is President of the Roseto Ladies Chapter of UNICO; member of The Blue and White Scholastic Foundation; Founding Member of Medic 9 Paramedic Unit; and first female President of Liberty Ambulance. She continues to be active in EMS as an EMT and CPR Instructor.

In her campaign announcement, Robertone indicates she has retired from her professional career. Review of her LinkedIn page, however, indicates she has had numerous contacts with hospitals and medcical practitioners over the years. In a time in which we are still reeling from a pandemic, Robertone's resume speaks for itself.

She indicates her campaign will focus on fiscal conservatism; government transparency; inclusion of public input on all matters; and an insistence that Gracedale remain county run.

Robertone is a Republican.
