Sheâs in.
Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis ended months of speculation Tuesday by announcing sheâs resigning to run for Luzerne County judge this year.
The three-term Republican prosecutor plans to seek one of two open seats on the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.
âIt has been the greatest honor of my life to serve the people of Luzerne County as district attorney and I will continue to serve the public interest if elected as judge,â Salavantis said in a news release.
Salavantis said she will resign after the nominating petition process is complete.
Candidates can start circulating nominating petitions Feb. 16 to get on the ballot for the May 18 primary election. The deadline to file nominating petitions is March 9.
