Editor\u2019s note: In a printed notification in last week\u2019s edition and on social media posts, The Press invited candidates to respond to the following question: What do you believe to be the No. 1 issue for your voters? This week\u2019s edition includes candidates who will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot. Those who emailed responses to the question by the Oct. 19 deadline have that additional information after their name.<\/p>\n
\u2022Judge of the Superior Court – Vote for one<\/p>\n
Democrat Brandon Neuman<\/p>\n
Republican Maria Battista<\/p>\n
Liberal Daniel Wassmer<\/p>\n
\u2022Judge of the Commonwealth Court – Vote for one<\/p>\n
Democrat Stella Tsai<\/p>\n
Republican Matt Wolford<\/p>\n
\u2022Judge of the Court of Common Pleas – Vote for one<\/p>\n
Democrat Mark B. Stanziola<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the biggest issue for people voting for the position of judge, is that given the divisive nature of today\u2019s political climate, people need to know that should they need to go before a judge, that judge will be fair, impartial and unbiased in all respects regarding political affiliation, race, creed and\/or nationality. Judges are the first line of defense against the erosion of our democracy and the Constitution, and our voters need to have faith in who they elect. I will make decisions based on facts and law, not based on politics or outside influence. Voters must have confidence that their judges work to uphold the rule of law, serve ethically and with the focus on keeping our community safe. I believe that I am the right person at the right time for this position.<\/p>\n
Republican Patricia Fuentes Mulqueen<\/p>\n
\u2022Lehigh County Executive – 4-year term – Vote for one<\/p>\n
Democrat Joshua Siegel<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest issue facing voters is concern over the state of politics in our country and the way our political system approaches solving our challenges. I believe people are frustrated by a politics of constant anger, outrage and animosity and want bold leaders who are committed to advancing policies and ideas that can unify and move our area forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that people want to build a new politics that isn\u2019t about left vs. right or red vs. blue but right vs. wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m running on One Lehigh which is about rebuilding trust and faith in government and democracy by coming together around shared principles and priorities like affordable housing, preserving open space, sustainable growth and development and standing up for everyone in our community and resisting divisive politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this moment calls for courage from our leaders to fight back against the chaos in Washington D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n
