North Hills Elections - County Edition

*UPDATED*

Do you know anyone who is running for local political office in the North Hills? Please let me know.

When I started this blog my hope was to focus on local elected officials and local political races. While last year, the political process dictated that I focus on the Elections that were held in November that didn't include any municipal offices.

Carolyn Bengel is NOT running for Common Pleas Court. She is running for re-election as the District Magistrate.

As of today, the candidates for Common Pleas Court are Mike Marmo, Alex Bicket, Marc Daffner, Leah Duncan-Williams, Eleanor Bush, and Jennifer Satler, and possibly Joeseph Luvara.
