It was a busy and jam-packed campaign headquarters on Tuesday night for Christine Rush, as supporters came together to congratulate the newly elected judge.<\/p>\n
With her win, Rush will become the black judge in Erie County’s history, an accomplishment that community members described as inspiring.<\/p>\n
Even with a career dedicated to service, Rush thanked those closest to her, who encouraged her to run the race that she now has won.<\/p>\n
Rush received over 1,400 votes and will take over current Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack, who is retiring, after officially being sworn in in January 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a busy and jam-packed campaign headquarters on Tuesday night for Christine Rush, as supporters came…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[5771,136,17950,142,138,137,17951,4586],"class_list":["post-27406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-christine-rush","tag-erie","tag-erie-1st-ward","tag-erie-county","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-first-black-judge","tag-judge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
