Yesterday, all nomination petitions for elected office were due in our elections office. If someone is still knocking on your door today, you might want to tell him he's too late.
In NorCo, the Elections office has posted an unofficial list of primary candidates. You can see it yourself here. It's unofficial because there could be challenges to these petitions.
Below are the most relevant races:
NorCo Judge - Bob Eyer and Jeremy Clark have cross-filed with the Department of State. James Fuller is only seeking the Republican nomination.
NorCo Exec. - Democrats Amy Cozze or Tara Zrinski will face Republican Tom Giovanni. A news release from the Zrinski campaign claims she obtained 1,453 signatures, well beyond the required 259 needed. Cozze has reported the endorsement of former US Senator Bob Casey, her former boss. Tom Giovanni reports having 800 signatures.
NorCo Council - Five at-large seats up for grabs. Running on the Republican side are John Brown (inc.), John Goffredo (inc.), Juan E. Martinez, Sam Elias and Daniel Campo. Running on the Democrat side are Lori Vargo Heffner (inc.), Jason Boulette, Nadeen Qayyum, David Holland, Theresa Fadem, and Patti Bruno. Bruno, who still uses a photo that looks nothing like her, claims to have obtained 577 signatures.
Magisterial District Judge (Wind Gap area) - Democrat Ellen Kingsley and Republicans Robert Kemmerer and Matt Flower have cross-filed.
Bethlehem Mayor - Willie Reynolds (inc.) faces a primary challenge from Grace Crampsie Smith. No Republican is running.
Bethlehem City Council (four seats) - Democrats Rachel Leon (inc.), Justin Amann, Tina Cantelmi, Hillary Kwiatek (inc.), Celeste Dee and Jo Daniels seek their party's nod. Only one Republican, Joseph Poplawski, is running.
Easton City Council (College Hill) - Democrat Roger Ruggles (inc.) faces a primary challenge from Frank Graziano III. No Republican has filed.
Easton City Council (south side) - Democrat Taiba Sultana (inc.) is being primaried by Susan Hartranft Bittenger. No Republican has filed. Although Sultana has alienated just about everyone on the south side, she claims 350 signatures. My guess is that she plans to run for Congress after she gets crushed.
Easton City Council (west ward) - Democrats Lance Wheeler and Julie Zando-Dennis are running against each other. Republican Sharbel Koorie will face the winner of that race in November.

This Zirinski thing is real? The most vapid candidate the dems can run. Northampton county's Mark Pinsley on steroids. The ultra-liberal left wing progressive fanatics have handed the county to the republicans. There are many dems who will vote for the republican over this constant professional campaigner. The dem self-annihilation continues, when her record and background id s exposed, she will lose again. She is your candidate and even you know she is nutty. One year of quietly letting trained staff do their jobs and forgetting her record, is hardly an endorsement.
NC exec - basically the choice is the least of the two evils
cozze gets the endorsement of a loser - too funny
woke willie for 5th deputy assistant animal control officer
Amy Cozze is incompetent. Her small business failed miserably because while she spent a great deal of time there she didn’t focus on making the business a success. Amy Cozze is a failure.
Matt Flower? Are we talking about the same man? The Jan 6er, independent film star, "lawyer", pastor, many time criminal defendant (previously featured on this blog) and republican guru. Hahahahahahahahahaha, what a loser! Amazing this clown thinks hes qualified to be a judge!
8:41 a.m. are you perfect? Let the one without sin cast the first stone. Matt's ok. Look at some others like Lisa Boscola. Enough said.
I am usually a proponent of attorneys holding the MDJ positions, however, my vote is for Robert Kemmerer in that race. He has done a great job at pre-trial services and has the right temperament for the job. I am really disappointed to hear from people within the DA's office that Ellen Kingsley pushes off most of the brunt work to those within her unit. She mysteriously changed her facebook profile to a different last name. Also, not sure she can be fair in a red district with all the anti-Trump things (more than your average poster) she's posted in the past.
anyone is better than "Pastor" Matt Esq.
-Dumbass
Well stated.
Maybe he needs new film ideas, like Judge Goes Hard on Criminal or MAGAstraight Judge Puts Criminal in the Doghouse.
Robert Kemmerer is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
You forgot "wife abuser" to both his ex wife and current wife, and he's only allowed supervised visits with his daughter.
Matt is not ok. He's just a really good liar and manipulator.
Gas prices going down egg prices going down other items will be coming just the start of the golden age Biden 4 years Trump will have it fixed in 6 months
No Tara is a tax cutter. Voted to cut property taxes in ‘22. Pinsley on the other hand called for a massive tax increase on the middle class. Big differences.
It will be a shame to lose Rob Kemmerer as the head of Pre-trial Services, but he is the most qualified non-attorney candidate I've ever seen for MDJ
