Election 2019: Bucks (PA) Democrats hope to continue county gains
Four Democrats are looking to unseat Republican incumbents and ride the blue wave of two years ago that had their party picking up Bucks County’s row officer positions for the first time in decades.
The 2017 election saw four county row office seats filled by Democrats, putting party control in question for the first time in three decades.
Republican incumbents Mary K. Smithson, 69, clerk of courts; Joseph Campbell, 56, coroner; Donald Petrille, Jr., 47, register of wills; and Tom Panzer, 55, treasurer, are all seeking re-election.
The Democratic challengers on the ballot Tuesday are Brian Munroe, 45, facing Smithson; Meredith Buck, 60, against Campbell; Linda Bobrin, 58, challenging Petrille; and Kris Ballerini, 53, taking on Panzer.
Munroe, a former Radnor Township police corporal and current Warminster supervisor, said his top priority would be a mandatory call back system for the clerk of courts.
“Those using this office often need clerical direction during a stressful time, and as taxpayers they deserve quality customer service,” Munroe, said in this news organization’s voters guide.
