Magisterial district judges, sometimes called the peoples' courts, are the frontline of our state's justice system. They handle the lion's share of cases, from neighborhood squabbles to landlord and tenant disputes to parking tickets. A magisterial district judge must be 21 and a state resident who has lived in the magisterial district for at least one year before assuming office. Terms last for six years, and nothing prevents other employment, though that is becoming less common. A minor court jurist can an attorney, but can be a nonlawyer as well, so long as he he can complete the training to be certified by the Administrative Office of Pa. Courts. Salary is $113,713 and is tied to the cost-of-living index, so it goes up each year. This year there is one open magisterial district in Northampton County, and three people are in the hunt. The three candidates running are Ellen Kingsley, an assistant District Attorney; Rob Kemmerer, former Director of Northampton County's Pretrial Services Department (he actually resigned that position to run); and Matt Flower, This district covers Bath, Chapman, Stockertown, Wind Gap, Bushkill Township, Moore Township - Phillips and Eastern Districts and Plainfield Township - Plainfield Church District. The purpose of this post is to describe the three candidates and where they are getting their money.
Ellen Kingsley. - A 1999 graduate of Widener School of Law, she has primarily practiced family law. She is also an Assistant District Attorney, where she serves as Chief of the Domestic Violence Unit. District Attorney Steve Baratta told County Council last week, "If she is fortunate enough to win, it will be a big loss [to his office]."
Here's her campaign as she summarizes it herself:
"In order to serve as Magisterial District Judge, you either need to be an attorney and member of the bar of the PA Supreme Court or be "certified" by the Minor Judiciary Education Board. To get certified candidates who aren't lawyers need to attend a 4-week course in Harrisburg. It is not required of attorneys since they have a law degree and, usually, experience. My three-year law degree, 26 years of experience in both civil and criminal law, including litigation in front of MDJs, and in ruling on and handling appeals from the Magisterial Districts make me the most qualified candidate."
Her nomination petition was challenged in court by Flower but he lost. Those two then engaged in an online battle in which neither looks particularly judicial.
Her campaign finance records reveal that she is largely self-funded. Aside from a $2,500 contribution from Jake Olsson, an employee of ScrbeAmerica, most of the money in her $3,525 Pre-Primary Finance report and 24-hour reporting comes from herself. She appears to have spent $3,286.37 on her campaign.
Matt Flower - On his campaign page, he states he holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and is currently employed by UPS, where he also serves as a Teamsters' union steward. He vows he would approach "each case with impartiality, integrity, and a focus on upholding the rights of all parties involved." On his campaign literature, he claims to have the "full endorsement" of the Republican party. He was endorsed by the county executive committee, not the entire party. Slate Belt Republicans tell me they make no endorsements in contested primaries.
Flower has a checkered past with a string of arrests in multiple counties going back to 2002. Everything from harassment to driving without a license. He's also been involved as Plaintiff or Defendant in numerous Protection from Abuse Act matters. He also admits to "peacefully demonstrating" at the capitol insurrection on January 6, when domestic terrorists or freedom-lovers (take your pick) ransacked the halls of Congress. He denies participating in any violence. and claims he's been "cleared" by the FBI. "I am not afraid of arrest, prison or rogue judges," he adds.

| Flower in blue shade |
A sample is on the left.
A judge has to keep his cool. He didn't.
As a constable candidate, he pledged to refuse to enforce PFA orders.
More recently, he was caught up in a Republican county committee kerfuffle after members discovered that his current wife was posting videos of their sexual trysts online for profit.
Campaign finance records show that he has received $3,125, including a $1.225 loan to himself.
Rob Kemmerer. - A graduate of East Stroudsburg University, Kemmerer has worked as a NorCo probation officer and was Director of its Pretrial Services Division. He resigned to run for this open seat. His department is responsible for making bail recommendations to magisterial district judges when a defendant is preliminarily arraigned. He is highly regarded by both the bench and bar. A prominent criminal defense lawyer told me Friday that Kemmerer could be called day and night for help in setting bail.
He's been endorsed by the Northampton County Republican Women’s Committee, former State Representative Marcia Hahn, and former Northampton County Council President Peg Ferraro.
Campaign finance records show that he chose to self-fund his campaign instead of forming a committee and seeking contributions. He has spent $11,800.04 for the usual campaign expenses, including a consult.

The Northampton County Republican Committee is the official and only recognized Republican Party organization in Northampton County.
It is chartered by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania (PA GOP).
It is the only organization authorized to endorse candidates, organize official GOP events, and represent Republicans across the county.
Its leadership is elected by Republican committee members from every precinct in Northampton County.
Any suggestion that there is another group with equal authority is false and misleading to voters.
Matt Flower received the endorsement of the Northampton County GOP Executive Committee—a recognized and legitimate group of elected Republican leaders. That endorsement is real, official, and meaningful.
Do not be misled by misinformation or backroom politics. Support candidates who are backed by real Republicans—those who serve the people, not the establishment.

Lou Gogel
Area 11 Chairman, Northampton County Republican Committee
Rob Kemmerer Is a good and honest man who loves his community, and this is his community. A vote for Rob is a vote in the right direction.
Lou Gogel
Feel threatened much? Nice try at trying to change the subject. The fact remains that the Northampton County Republican Committee has endorced a candidate whose only qualification is that he has extensive experience in our justice system as a defendant. This is not accusation it is backed up with verifiable facts. Search his name and you will find the news paper accounts verifying these facts.
The NCRC has become a joke so the endorsement is a joke.
I've met both Flower and Kemmerer. I've also done my research on both of them. Kemmerer is a stand up guy. Flower on the other hand is a known abuser and alcoholic. The choice is simple. Vote Kemmerer May 20th!
I’m a registered Republican in this county for 20 years. If Flowers is the candidate the Republican committee endorsed then it needs to be ripped down and rebuilt. What an embarrassment. This clown Flowers doesn’t belong anywhere near a gavel, Jesus what’s wrong with you people?
Bernie, Rob Kemmerer is the only candidate that is already certified to be a Magistrate. I think you left that out of your post.
So let’s see. We have a liberal lady that’s Barrattas girl, an alleged wife beater with multiple arrests who readily admits he won’t enforce the law, and a squared away professional who is already certified to be a Magistrate. This isn’t a tough choice folks. Rob Kemmerer is the guy.
Mr Gogel, please explain why your committee endorsed an alleged wife beater who admits he wouldn’t enforce our laws?
https://www.mcall.com/2021/05/13/northampton-county-constable-candidate-with-history-of-domestic-violence-says-he-wouldnt-enforce-protection-from-abuse-orders/
Maybe he can sentence himself to prison where he belongs. IF he were to win, he would definitely be removed. NO WAY TO MATTHEW L FLOWER on facebook has him in his own words admitting to making his exwife have a miscarriage.
Norco GOP needs to have their collective heads examined if they endorsed Flower. Maybe someone can explain how this guy is the best choice?
That is false. You are exaggerating. The wife a claims a miscarriage, but there is no evidence, no charge or arrest for that in incident...nothing. some woman made a claim. Whoop dee do.
I believe he was endorsed because he is the only candidate willing to stand and fight for the common people. AND he has been fighting for our candidates and party for years in the face of great adversity.
Flower has no criminal convictions for domestic abuse. No violent convictions. No finding that he actually did these things.
The smear campaign against him is proof that those in power in Easton are terrified.
Let’s stop sugarcoating it: the Northampton County Courthouse is a hotbed of unconstitutional activity and blatant corruption. The public sees it. Good people feel it. And now, there’s even a federal lawsuit filed against the entire county trial bench—alleging serious misconduct, rights violations, and abuse of judicial power.
Ask yourself: Who’s speaking out? Who’s standing up to the machine?
Not the political insiders.
Not the establishment lawyers.
Not the fringe club Republicans trying to play kingmaker from the sidelines.
**Only one person has the guts to call this what it is—**a broken system that needs to be torn down and rebuilt with justice, truth, and the Constitution at its core.
That person is Matt Flower.
Matt’s a street fighter. A brawler. A blue-collar patriot who doesn’t owe the courthouse crowd a thing—and that’s exactly why they fear him. He’s not afraid to go to war when the truth is under attack. And he’s the only candidate with the spine to stand with the brave citizen who filed that lawsuit and say: “You’re not alone.”
While others protect their reputations, Matt’s fighting for the Republic.
And he’s not standing alone:
Every Trump delegate and alternate in Northampton County stands behind Matt
Teamsters Local 773 backs him proudly
He’s supported by law enforcement, veterans, constables, and local leaders who know exactly how deep the rot goes
And he’s officially endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Northampton County Republican Committee—the only GOP body that matters
Let the fringe groups like the Slate Belt Republicans and a few loud voices in the Republican Women’s social club keep pretending they speak for the base. They don’t. They have no official authority and no courage to take on the real fight. They're background noise.
Matt Flower is the only one standing between the people and a corrupt courthouse. He’s not asking for permission. He’s here to bring the fire.
And when the smoke clears, justice will have a new name in Northampton County: Matt Flower.

Removed on what grounds? You can just remove someone because you dont like them.
Would the Republican Party in Northampton please explain why they support this women abuser ?
Simply not true. Matt has consistently challenged violations of law and helped many others through the legal process over the years. Those activities may not get headlines, but they were threatening enough to the system that PJ Craig Dally and prior DA Terry Houck tried to silence this guy with a grand jury investigation that ultimately failed.
This retired LEO wants nothing to do with this clown. WTF is wrong with you guys? What Law Enforcement endorses him? Stop lying! You guys are no worse than liberal democrats, you choose criminals over cops.
This is a repost of an email that I was sent with a quote from the chairman of the Moore Twp Supervisors, who has apparently endorsed Flower as well:
"Everyone makes mistakes in their life growing up it is those people who learn from their mistakes and use those experiences to become a better person.
I’ve gotten to know Matt Flower through his involvement over the years in Moore Township, and I’ve come to appreciate the way he approaches public service — with consistency, respect, and a clear focus on the people he serves. He’s not looking for credit; he’s looking to move things forward and get results.
Matt’s background in criminal justice, combined with his service on the Zoning Hearing Board and his hands-on experience with community issues, gives him a practical understanding of how these decisions affect everyday lives. He brings common sense and a level head to the table — qualities that are especially important in a courtroom.
When someone like Matt steps up to serve as Magisterial District Judge, it’s worth paying attention. He’s steady, fair, and focused on doing what’s right — not just by the law, but by the community.
Dan Piorkowski
Explain his statement that he wouldn’t enforce a PFA. So he’ll only enforce the laws he thinks matter? He’s a hot head that belongs no where near a gavel. Period.
He’s a brawler all right, when he’s fighting women apparently lol.
This is a fucking joke. To quote Mr. Flower "yeah I kicked you like Ryu from street fighter and I can still envision you flying thru the air" what a piece of human shit.
Dumbass
Matt is a coward. He likes to beat women. He admits it in his own words.
Brian McCulloch
I think Glenn Geissinger has some explaining to do. Why is the Northampton county Republican committee propping up and endorsing a known woman abuser with an extensive criminal history? Isn't their job to vet the candidates and put forth the very best for the position? How can we trust the NCRC right now with this kind of leadership? If Glenn didn't know Flower was this big of a piece of sh*t he is inept and not fit to hold the position of chairman. If he did know, then we have an even bigger problem. And I'm sick of hearing people defend him by saying he was never "convicted" of a violent crime, there are plenty of documented incidents where he has openly admitted to beating and strangling women. I think many of us have seen the screenshots by now... In his own words how he spoke to his ex-wife and told her she deserved every beating she got and that he would kill the next woman who messed with him. He didn't even show any remorse for the loss of his child after that beating. There are also newspaper quotes where in his own words he admits that he did it. Just because he wasn't convicted doesn't mean he didn't do it. Sometimes things fall through the cracks in our justice system. This man is dangerous and the NCRC is complicit in helping to put him into a powerful position. They have endorsed him officially and they have also donated to him financially. I think the NCRC and their chairman Glenn Geissinger owes us some answers!
Anyone that has a Flowers sign on their lawn, I’m going to assume you’re ok with men beating up women. Crazy!
She has the texts telling her to go kill herself. Such a nice guy lol.
The Republican Women’s organization has been relatively MIA so its endorsement of anything or anyone means apparently zilch. Hahn and Ferraro are probably members of that organization and they have been MIA as well. Move on, Bernie, and let the voters decide.
When I chose to endorse Matt Flower for Magisterial District Judge, I didn’t do it to play it safe—I did it because he’s the only candidate in this race with the courage to speak the truth.
There’s been a lot said about Matt’s past, but he’s been clear: a lot of it is false, politically motivated, or twisted by people who feel threatened. That’s not unusual in Northampton County. If you challenge the system here, you become a target. And Matt’s been targeted because he’s the only one calling out what no one else will.
We have a federal lawsuit against the entire trial bench. That’s not gossip—that’s real. It should concern every voter in this county. And while others look the other way, Matt’s stepping up. He’s not afraid to name the problem, and he’s not afraid to take it head-on.
He’s not trying to fit into the courthouse culture—he’s trying to hold it accountable.
And let’s not forget, Matt is backed by the Trump 2024 delegates elected right here in Northampton County. The very people chosen by Republican voters to carry the America First flag this election cycle saw what I saw: a fighter who isn’t part of the system—and never will be.
That’s what we need right now. Someone who won’t play along, won’t back down, and won’t stop until the courts start serving the people again.
That’s why I endorsed Matt Flower—and why I stand by it.
I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside Matthew Flower at several community events and meetings, and I’ve seen firsthand his dedication to serving the people of our local region. He shows up, he listens, and he puts in the work. That’s the kind of steady, community-minded leadership we need on the Magisterial bench. Matt’s background in criminal justice, legal advocacy and his active involvement in local service reflect a real understanding of how the justice system impacts everyday people. He’s respectful, even-handed, and deeply committed to making sure everyone feels heard. As an elected state constable in the region, I value fairness, accountability, and a respect for the legal process. I see those qualities in Matt, and I’m proud to support his candidacy for Magisterial District Judge.
Gregory S. Norton
Lol which LEOs and constables support Flowers?
No proof??? Has the NORCO GOP not seen that he has had PFAs entered against him? Because you don't get those without PROOF. Have they not seen the pages and pages of texts that **Mr Flowers acknowledged were his both IN COURT (and in online spaces)** that he sent his ex wife? Because he very plainly admits to beating her and causing her miscarriage. Further- He boasts about it and says that he "would k*ll her unborn child 10x over". You know... In addition to sending threatening messages about r*pe and saying he "looked into hiring someone to k*ll her". -- How much more PROOF does the NORCO GOP need exactly?
Mr Horton:
Being a judge isn’t about being a “street fighter” or a “brawler”. It’s about being fair, firm, and consistent. It’s about having an even keeled demeanor. We don’t need an impulsive hot head who texts his ex wife telling her to kill herself being a judge. Besides that, we need smart people, only an idiot would put that in a text. You can’t explain away a text as a “smear” job. It’s his own words.
There doesn't have to be findings for it to be true.
As a candidate for Magisterial District Judge, I am fully bound by the Pennsylvania Code of Judicial Conduct. I take that responsibility seriously—and if elected, I will honor it with impartiality, discipline, and integrity.
But let’s not pretend this race has been free from political interference.
I’ve been targeted in the past by politically motivated legal actions, including a period of incarceration and a grand jury investigation—measures that, in my view, were intended to silence my advocacy and discourage my public service. These actions were not about justice—they were about control.
And they failed. The conviction in question was ultimately reversed in my favor, and the investigation produced no charges or consequences.
I’m still here. Still standing. And still fighting for the people I’ve always stood with.
Over the years, multiple judges have recused themselves from matters involving me—long before I ever became a candidate. In one instance, a judge stepped aside after their campaign publicly criticized me during a prior political season, despite the fact that I was not even a candidate at the time.
In another matter, during a public court proceeding where I exercised my right to request a judge’s recusal and continued to explain why ON THE RECORD, the judge stated from the bench: “Do not ever bring him to my courtroom again.” That statement wasn’t about behavior—it was a reaction to being challenged. To me, that moment revealed not disruption, but discomfort—discomfort with accountability.
I raise these examples not to attack anyone personally, but to show something bigger: the system knows when it’s being challenged. The resistance I’ve faced hasn’t come because I broke the rules—it’s come because I’ve refused to surrender to them.
Ironically, those most determined to keep me off the bench should understand this: if elected, my public speech will be further restricted under judicial ethics. But their concern has never truly been about judicial competence or character—it’s been about the fact that I’ve never backed down from speaking the truth, and I am not going to start now.
I won’t be intimidated. I won’t be silenced. And I won’t pretend this system always works for the people it’s supposed to serve.
I’m running to restore trust, defend constitutional rights, and bring fairness—not fear—into the courtroom.
If that’s what you want in a judge, I humbly ask for your vote on May 20.
Matthew L. Flower
Candidate for Magisterial District Judge, District 03-3-02
Because he has them fooled.
You can't prove what causes a miscarriage but when you throw a pregnant woman across the room and she miscarries, there's a good chance that did it.
Maybe someone should talk to his current wife. She hasn't even posted his run for magistrate on her Facebook page and she covers everything else political
Flowers doesn't belong anywhere near the office- a terrible individual.
The same reason Democrats support Bullhorn Zrinski- it depends on who the cabal likes or which candidate kisses their ass the most.
Hi Mattheus
He is a street fighter. In his own words he karate kicked his ex wife like Ryu from street fighter so I guess you got that part right. Pathetic.
Dumbass
There must be something wrong with the air out in Moore Twp.
I’m in Bushkill. Most of my neighborhood is republican. We are just finding out about this guy and NOBODY is happy today. Two guys already voted for Flowers by mail and they’re pissed. This is bullshit County GOP! We’re talking about getting together and getting involved because the this is insanity. .
So Dan Piorkowski, Hunter Keim, and Gregory S Norton think that Matt's background and commitment to political events should wash away his documented past of abusing women and even unborn children? It's not a smear campaign when it comes out of Matt's own mouth. Do even a tiny bit of research and you will see you are supporting a smooth talking psychopath who has you all fooled. He knows exactly what to say and how to say it and that makes him even more dangerous. Even his current "wife" has posted about his abuse on her personal Facebook page on multiple occasions, only to take the post down an hour later (under threat most likely). There is even a video floating around where she secretly recorded him admitting to choking her. You don't have to look forward to find the truth about this coward. He is a duplicitous chameleon who morphs into whatever he needs to be to accomplish his goals. Do some research guys, this "man" is a piece of trash who beats women for fun. I think you will find you are in the wrong side of history backing this guy.
There absolutely IS evidence. His own texts where he admits to doing it and plainly states he would "k*ll her unborn child 10x over".
Not sure how much more PROOF is needed when he not only said he did it, but proudly gloated about it.
Not very "pro life" of the NorCo Republican Committee to back a candidate like that. And to see acting constables standing behind him as well is truly alarming.
Where can one find that video? Ty.
You are a total idiot.
Moron, you can read his text messages to how precious wives. You are a loser as well.
You abuse women and are proud of it. Phsyco
Show up at the next NCRC meeting and ask questions. You'll probably experience them throwing you out for asking about who the support and allow on their committee.
Why haven't you responded to any questions?
How does a judge pay along? This guy is a total life loser who manipulates desperate women so he can control and abuse them.
The text volly posted on the bushkill Twp FB group is DISGUSTING. You will hurt more women, the sad part is the legal system failed your previous wives and the ones to come.
"Everyone makes mistakes in life" flies when we're talking about a petty theft from a person's teenage years, or mayyybe even a DUI. It does NOT fly when we're talking about violently beating a woman until she miscarries, then sending her random texts at 3am years after the fact to tell her she deserved to lose her baby and you'd do it again "10x over".
Have you completely lost touch with reality? Are you not seeing that when his messages were posted to the Bushkill group Flower tried to claim this was *checks notes* ah yes... self defense... And then went on to say he has no apologies?
Between that and the fact that his current wife has posted alleging physical abuse several times, and his record of getting physical with other people, it's pretty wild that anyone would endorse this guy... let alone try to speak on his behalf and claim he's learned from his mistakes and has "become a better person".
Shame on you.
Shame on the NorCo GOP.
Shame on any constables and law enforcement officials standing behind him when it's their JOB to protect victims.
Shame on the Teamsters for endorsing him without doing any research (at least I HOPE that's the case, because it's far worse if they did and just ignored all the news articles from his last run).
Shame on ANYONE trying to victim blame or brush the things he's done under the rug like it's NOTHING.
That's inaccurate. Kingsley is automatically certified as a result of her law degree.
Are you referring to the case where Matt sent a letter and impersonated a lawyer so M had to marry him real quick because a wife can't be compelled to testify against her husband? That grand jury case? He literally signed the letter Matt Flower, Esq 😂 I can see how he got confused, he has represented himself so many times (pro se) for his own criminal proceedings, he probably actually thinks he has a law degree now. Hey NCRC, great pick for a judge candidate! 🤡
To anonymous @ 0810 am. "Whoop de doo?" What the hell is wrong with you? Some woman didn't just make a claim. Matt literally admitted to it in writing and doubled down to say she deserved it and he would do it again 10x over. He actually said he was sorry he didn't kill her. Only a disgusting 🤡 would rush to his defense and minimize the serious nature of his crimes with a ridiculous phrase like whoop de do.
The people here and on social media are acting as if violent acts fall my from sky in my presence. The facts are that violence was initiated by a partner during an awful marriage almost 11 years ago...numerous times. As I am not in the habit of allowing anyone to behave with physical violence towards me, I responded and I ended the threats to my safety.
What people need to understand is that when you initiate an attack upon a person, whatever happens after that is your fault. You could be injured, or even die, and innocent people around you may be caught up in the chaos. I engaged in lawful self-defense defense and I do not regret it to this day. There was no miscarriage as has been suggested, because there was never a pregnancy. Even if there was, the consequences of the violence in question lay squarely on the person who initiated the violence.
The text message screenshot floating around may or may not be accurate as I haven't read them all. What I do know is that one night, approximately 4 years after my separation from this physically aggressive and manipulative woman, I made the mistake of telling her exactly what I thought of her in an extremely nasty text message. I did this after four years of hell that she put me through and still puts me through to this day, even after over a decade of separation. Was it appropriate? Obviously not. I have been judged for those text messages and I paid the price...years ago. I make no excuses for speaking to anyone that way, but those texts change nothing. I was attacked, I responded, and I don't regret my response. I would have engaged in the same physical behavior to protect myself or anyone around me. No one should be expected to tolerate such an attack without responding.
Attacking a person is a risky move, and can cause injury and harm to the person you attack, yourself and others. That why we dont allow it.
Believe me. Don't believe me. It really doesn't matter. I will still be here, keeping a watchful eye and ensuring that your rights are never taken away without a fight.
Matthew L. Flower
The video has been popping up on various township sites but seems to get taken down quickly. The mods are probably concerned with leaving it up for legal reasons since she seems to have recorded him without his consent. But once you hear it you can't unhear it. He openly admitted to strangling his current wife.
Please go away Flowers- you're a disgrace!
Please Flowers, go back to making cheap, horrendous porn videos, you creep!
All I can say is wow here we go again. The use of public media to slant their opinion towards one political candidate is astounding. While nobody’s past is perfect. When I see an overwhelming hatred towards a candidate, I am more inclined to vote for them because I know that in this day and age The one that’s going to do the most for you. Is the one they’re going to pick on the most. That is why when I go to the polls, I will be voting for Matt Flowers . I do believe that he will stand up for everyone. Being a Stewart in the union says it all I have been a union member for most of my working career and it’s very hard to find people to stand up for others. Most would rather ridicule or Hide in their shell and hope for the best.
Best of luck, Matt Flowers keep fighting the haters.
Someone saying what they WOULD do isn't the same as admitting guilty.
This is totally ridiculous. You people bashing a candidate as such should have your heads examined.
This garbage always happens to ruin a good candidate.
I’ve known Matt for many years I fully support him because I know that when you have a target on your back everybody’s after you. That’s why on Tuesday for the primary I will be fully supporting Matt Flower and everyone I can contact. I will be sure to get out the vote for him.
Another thing there are slimy parts of the Republican Party that are going after him because he showed leadership and started moving the party in the right direction Several years ago.
When you consider everything in the news/ on the record/ everything posted and later removed by his current wife / all he admits to and gloats about in his texts to his first wife etc... it's terrifying to think about how much he's probably done that got plead down, dismissed, or just never brought to the police at all... How much was said and done that there *isn't* a paper trail for or a written record of...
Abused women usually cover things up for their abusers for a pretty long time before it starts to click that the abuser won't ever change. And the police don't always have enough to make charges stick (nor do they always pursue things when they should unfortunately).
So was your current wife violently attacking you too? Is that why you HAD to strangle her? And before you try to say it didn't happen, I've seen the video. She's sitting at your table recording a conversation between the two of you where she asks You what you would do if someone did that to your daughter. And you openly admitted to strangling her. This is no smear campaign. It's your own words being used against you. You are a creep with a pattern of abusing women and then blaming them. And you have no place holding any public servant position.
Matt, she scared you!? You are a pathetic loser. Nobody want you protecting them!
You are more of a loser than Matt.
I find it interesting that no one has asked my wife what she has to say. You will have the opportunity while she proudly supports me on election day.
It's a claim. Anyone could make one. And nothing in read in those messages claimed it anything other than a response to an attack another party initiated. Its a right there if you read it. Whether you believe it or not is a different story. But that's not my point.
9:51 do you remember the names of any of the people who posted it so I can reach out?
More lies which cannot be proven
Anonymous 10:57 can you direct me to where I can view the video or to people that may have it please?
That's funny! Your current wife hasn't posted a single thing on her personal page to support your run for judge. But she seems to be very political and posts in support of several other candidates on a regular basis. You would think she would be promoting your run for judge constantly on her page. It's almost as if she's afraid of you having that kind of power. And I'm sure as long as she is still with you she will continue to speak positively about you in public. That's what abused women do. The fact that she stands by your side during election day after being subjected to years of abuse tells me all I need to know about the situation. And it certainly doesn't make you look less guilty. Good luck on Tuesday. May you have all the success you deserve!
Then you must be a piece of shit woman beater as well. Id love to drop the video his current wife recorded where he admits to strangling her. However, ohare doesn't take video comments yet. I'll just play it for voters tomorrow at the polls.
Public media? Look at his own words and texts! Simple as that.
Show up with a hundred strong men lol. Thats what Lynch would do.
I ve seen bullshit DV arrests, but here there is a pattern. There are texts. There are his own statements. Most troubling to me is the quote from the MC of him stating he wouldn’t enforce PFAs. That could get people killed. It could all be bullshit and he could be a nice guy, but why take that chance when you have a guy like Rob Kemmerer on the ballot. This is basically a glorified part time traffic court/preliminary court. Nobody in this job is “cleaning out the courthouse” ect ect. By the way, the reason everyone wants the job is it’s a part time job for a 113 k a year plus a 3 multiplier on your pension. The office is open full time but the Magistrate is there when he wants to be. This is NOT a government change agent job lol. It’s a gravy train is what it is.
I thought it was the policy of NCRC to not endorse during the primary and I thought Republicans hated activist judges which it looks like Matt wants to be. Also, if Matt is such a great Republican, why did he work so hard to get people to vote no for retention for Judge Sletvold.
You must be a creep too. Anyone who makes cheap porn videos, posts them on-line, gets caught, then lies about it, is a psychopath, and should be nowhere near the judicial bench- except for being sentenced for abusing women.
You're a joke- just like the NC Republican Party leadership. If anyone wants a laugh, go to one of their meetings- its like the Gong Show!
As I've said before, this guy snitches to the feds. How else could one man do so many crimes and walk free. I love how he justifies his decision to send those foul texts. Hes a drunk with a napoleon complex. He would never pick a fight with a real man because he would get demolished. I've heard the video. He definitely admits to choking his wife. Ill make sure to play it for the voters tomorrow!!

Anonymous 9:51- is there any way I can get access to this video? Is it something you can email (preferred) or send through messenger?
Anonymous 12:08 stop asking for the video. You're putting the current wife at legal risk.

FACTS
1: The NCRC endorsed Matt Flower, the vote was one no and the rest yes. That covers a wide range of individuals many like my self have worked with Matt to advance the rejection of progressivism. And with Matt's leadership we have had success.
2: I have known Matt and Marge Flower's for about three years. They are raising a combined six children together, no easy task, especially since the Northampton Courts have deprived both of them of proper due process.
3: Much of the animus toward Matt are from individuals who have been thwarted by him because of their belligerent behavior and destructive efforts to undermine Republican candidates that they did not support, even after the primary's. One such candidate to have been affected by their efforts was Lisa Sheller; in fact it could be argued that they gave us a third term of congresswoman Susan Wild. An unforgivable accomplishment!
4: I too have had my dealing with the family court system. When my marriage was coming to an end I, like so many others, wound up in court. It did not take me long to figure out the courts rule general against fathers. Like Matt I took aggressive actions because I too wanted to divorce my wife not my daughter. I joined a fathers rights advocacy group and thus became politically active. Also like Matt I realized that finding an attorney to actually fight the system was virtually impossible, so I became a pro-se litigant. To what end? I continually lost in court yet in the end cost my future ex-wife thousands of dollars in legal fees to pay her attorney. The result was I got to help raise my daughter and even became the custodial parent for several years working with my ex to my daughter benefit, no thanks to the courts. She is now 43 years old and a productive citizen.
5: When you share common principles with others it is only right to support them. I share much will my young friend Matt Flower and support him. One last point; all of the anonymous critics who I am quite sure are Christians need to go back to the gospel and study up; redemption is a thing, forgiveness is important. How many of those who fell only to rise and lead are in scripture. Maybe it is time to stop being hypocrites and embrace the truth. I endorse Matthew Flower for the position of Magisterial Judge for Court 03-3-02.
Anonymous 10:46 give it up already you're not getting it
To the person who said he/she would play the video tomorrow- what polling place will you be at, pleeeeeze?!
Whoops my bad. Rob is certified as well. So the only person that isn’t is Flowers, just to be clear.
Surely the NCRC must realize that Flowers' past shows his ability to treat women fairly in cases is questionable. Any lawyer could make the case to have him disqualify himself from a hearing involving women. The Republicans should withdraw their support for the man.
Its clearly m and m trying to figure out who has the video and how widely it has been disseminated....very widely 🤣
These aren't facts as you state because I know with 100% accuracy, point one is incorrect. There was AT LEAST five no's. I had a prominent member of the committee tell me to my face they didnt say yes or no because they're afraid Matt would burn their house down. Makes me wonder how many yes votes were out of fear.
Point four, if the courts always side with the mother, why did she lose custody of her five children? You say they're raising 6 kids as if they have custody of them. They have visitation rights. Not the same thing.
I'm a Christian and if anyone needs Christ in this situation it is Matt. Redemption is real but Matt is still abusing regularly. Open your eyes Al Smith!
No it's not. Its his ex wife trying to use it against him in court
Anonymous 2:02 I dare you to show up at that polling place
Hi margie
More lies. Only a single no that counted. One moron yelled no who didn't even understand she has no voting rights. So one real no, and one idiot who doesn't understand she didn't have thr right to vote. Here's looking at you Karen Frey.
3:05 anymore clearly has no idea what is going on because I happen know to Margie has two of her kids full time after they fled their other parent's home and decided not to return. You dont know what you are talking about.
20000 aye? Wow nice family folks lol.
I believe in redemption also. That doesn’t mean we reward bad behavior with a gavel lol. The bottom line is he’s not the best candidate of the three. Putting aside the boatload of baggage he has, he’s also the least qualified of the three as well.
Sorry Anonymous there was one no vote I am on the board and placed the motion for endorsement. Your friend lied to you or you are lying. Next I did not say they have custody, however they are raising these children as do other divorced non-custodial parents do. I said custody is "generally" given to the mother; the percentage varies from state to state, but averages over 90% for the mothers. If these numbers happened in any other area it would be labeled discrimination. As far as you being a Christian I will leave that between you and the Creator.
100% correct! Any man that beats women should be in jail!
please just go away, you loser!
With people like Geissinger, Al Smith & Flowers, No wonder the NC Republican Party is a shit show.
Matt's two wives have documented his physical ABUSE! You claim to be around matt a lot. Are you that dumb? He brags about berating them and encourages them to kill themselves. You must be the biggest loser to walk this county.
One important fact I missed. Glenn Geissinger and Andrew Azon both abstained in the endorsement vote for Matt Flower.
You bring up an excellent point. The tax payers should expect full time work for full time pay, and with me they will get it. Not only will I work a full week, but am invested in creating change that will improve the lower court system and make it a true tool for the public to use..
one they can understand and meaningfully participate in.
We don't have to be besties. I could give two shits what you do with your free time
Omg you found me out!!! Whatever shall I do!
Looks like Flowers has checked all the boxes to become the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
Wind gap is in trouble
Even with all of that NCRC help Flower lost big on both the Republican and Democrat ticket. Maybe he can loan himself another $1,225 from his campaign donations to drown his sorrows at the Bath Exchange bar. I wonder what public office this loser will run for next. Or will he simply scurry back into the cracks of his rundown compound like the cockroach that he is?
Why?
After being outspent many times over, sabotaged by every political enemy I have, libeled and slandered by Brian McCulloch, Barry Weber, Erika Weber and Karen Frey, I still took a quarter of the vote. Many voters thanked me for running to challenge a broken system, and that challenge will continue. I am proud of what was accomplished, grateful to those who supported me and committed to continuing the fight. I also spent almost the entire day with my opponent Robert Kemmerer, discussing a great many things, and he will have my full support as well as that of my entire network as we move into the general election.
The best was showing that video of matts to all the voters, oh and when Mrs flower got the police called on her in bath for harassing poll workers that was pretty classy too!!!! The video sealed matts fate!!!
Dumbass
Come to the polling place and act like a piece of shit. Oh wait you did that. How did that work out for you!! Loser.
Hey Matt sue me then. You're going to lose! Can't wait!
Brian McCulloch(domestic violence free since 1985)
Libel and slander? So The Morning Call and all the other news organizations that covered your court cases were making things up? Your own words written to your ex wife where you bragged about beating her, that wasn't real either? You not only have a pattern of abusing women and breaking the law, you also have a pattern of crying "smear campaign" anytime anyone digs up your past and makes it known. You are pathetic and you have no business running for office. And as far as Kemmerer goes if he has any political savvy at all he will make sure you and your merry band of idiots in your "network" stay far away from his campaign in the general election.
Retired Allentown Officer Lewis Gogel supports flowers. Why is that? He ran for Lehigh Township supervisor and loss. His wife Melissa Gogel works for Allentown police, she ran for Magistrate in Lehigh Township and loss ohhhh again a Flower supporter and she will try to run for magistrate again. Patrick Cubbage again another retired officer supported Flowers. The republican committee. Needs to wake up. Oh since when does the republican committee think it's OK to have a republican switch to democrat and run on a ticket, to then only campaign for the republican on election day. Games make the republican party look like a joke. Wake up Gessinger drain your swamp
