The primary election on May 18 has no national and few state ballot spots up for grabs, but does have something for everyone. Because there are three proposed constitutional amendments and a state referendum to be decided, independent and third-party voters are part of this election.
The predominantly-local election includes those seeking seats on borough councils, township supervisors and school boards. A handful of county row offices are contested this year, including treasurer, register and recorder, and sheriff posts in both Mifflin and Juniata counties.
Mifflin County voters have magisterial district judges up for re-election. Juniata County voters along with those in Perry County will select candidates for a Common Pleas Court judgeship in the 41st Judicial District, which the two counties share (likewise, Snyder and Union counties will choose who will run for a judgeship in the 17th district).

At the request of state Sens. Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia), Art Haywood (D-Montgomery/Philadelphia), and Nikil Saval (D-Philadelphia), the Pennsylvania Democratic Policy Committee held a virtual public hearing on Wednesday to look into the effects COVID-19 has had on the existing housing crisis.
“For too long, the struggles of Pennsylvanians to find housing, and to stay housed, have been rendered invisible. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated a crisis that has been generations in the making and which is endemic to a society that treats housing as a commodity rather than as a right. As legislators, we have an opportunity, right now, to listen to our constituents to make these struggles visible and to furnish legislative solutions to mitigate decades of neglect and harm,” Saval said.
