Beyond statewide elections and ballot questions, Perry County residents won’t see many contested races, but there are a few.
One seat on the Court of Common Pleas for the 41st Judicial District, which includes both Perry and Juniata counties will be on the ballot this year. There are three candidates running for judge to fill the court vacancy of former President Judge Kathy Morrow.

Don Zagurskie, a long-time attorney from Juniata County, is adding his name to the list of candidates running for the open judgeship in the Court of Common Pleas of the 41st Judicial District, which includes both Juniata and Perry counties.
“I hope to be the candidate who shares the vision with Perry and Juniata,” said Zagurskie, who for the past 30 years has been a practicing attorney with Johnston & Zagurskie in Mifflin.
He started his legal career in Mifflin in 1991 and was made a partner with the firm a year later. Since then, Zagurskie has been active in both counties representing clients for civil and criminal matters, as well as representing municipalities in the counties. Zagurskie listed criminal defense, family law matters, wrongful death, personal injury, business, and gun rights restoration as some of the areas he’s been involved with over the decades.
