Two candidates were on the ballot Tuesday for one 10-year judgeship in the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The position became open with the pending retirement of Judge Anthony Beltrami.<\/p>\n

Running to succeed him were Republican James Fuller and Democrat Jeremy Clark.<\/p>\n

According to unofficial results posted by the county with all precincts reporting, Clark took the election with 51,814 votes to 34,924 votes for Fuller \u2014 for a percentage split of about 60-40 between the vote tally for the two.<\/p>\n

Results are unofficial until certified. Approaching midnight Tuesday, Northampton County reported all Election Day votes, partial mail-in ballots and no provisional ballots. <\/p>\n

Fuller, 41, of Northampton, has been an assistant district attorney in Monroe County for the last two years and before that, an assistant county public defender for nearly seven.<\/p>\n

Clark, 46, of Easton, who has a private practice in the city, has represented clients in county, state and federal courts and has served as a special divorce master. He is also an Easton assistant city solicitor.<\/p>\n

Clark, a Democrat, won his party\u2019s primary in May over Democrat Robert Eyer, the county\u2019s first assistant district attorney, with 52.7% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Fuller, a Republican, won the GOP nomination with 47.1% of the vote in a three-way contest, defeating Clark and Eyer. Although judicial candidates can appear on Democratic and Republican primary ballots, Fuller ran only in the Republican primary.<\/p>\n
