James Capello announced his candidacy for Magisterial District Judge #52-2-01, a position that oversees five wards in the City of Lebanon, in an early January press release.
Capello is a 30-year-old Lebanon resident and graduate of Lebanon High School. He has previously worked in law enforcement as a Pennsylvania State Constable and as a Central Booking Agent, and he holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice Studies. Capello is a registered Republican.
The position, which serves the 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Wards in Lebanon, has been vacant since Thomas Capello, the previous judge, resigned midway through his term at the end of 2019. James Capello is the son of Thomas and current Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello. If elected, James Capello will succeed his father.
