She made tough and important decisions for nine years.
âAs district attorney, I have a different perspective than anyone else,â Salavantis said Wednesday during an editorial board meeting with The Citizensâ Voice. âIâve worked the front lines every day.â
Salavantis, 38, recently resigned as district attorney to run for Luzerne County judge â a move she insists wasnât required, but she made to focus on the judicial campaign.
Salavantis is seeking one of two Luzerne County judicial seats open in this yearâs election. She will appear on both the Democrat and Republican ballot in Mayâs primary election.
Having been elected three times in a countywide vote, Salavantis is touting herself as a person the people of Luzerne County know and can trust.
She thinks thatâs a benefit for the job she seeks.
âMy place has always been practicing law, always in a courtroom,â Dennis said Friday during an editorial board meeting with The Citizensâ Voice.
Dennis, 47, is seeking one of two Luzerne County judicial seats open in his yearâs election. She will appear on both the Democrat and Republican ballot in Mayâs primary election.
Dennis said sheâs practiced all aspects of the law during her 23-year career and feels like her experience makes her uniquely qualified.
âAt this point in my career, Iâm confident and comfortable asking voters for their vote,â Dennis said. âRunning for judge was not a split-second decision for me.
